Mercier Dumbfounded

[user198174]

We got to the action as three players were being shown a flop of {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {3-Clubs} . The player in first position checked to Jason Mercier who bet out and was soon raised by button. The first player to act then check-raised Mercier and the button. All players settled their bets and they got to see the turn.

The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and with it another raise from Mercier who was adamant about winning the pot. Both of the other players made the call.

All players in the hand decided that they had already bet enough in the hand and everyone checked when the {K-Diamonds} fell on the river. The player in first position showed {10-Clubs} {10-} , for a set of tens. Mercier stared at his hole cards for a good 20 seconds before he slowly deposited them into the muck as did the button.
