Mercier Takes Some Off Hellmuth

[user196676]

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Jason Mercier made it 4,000 to go from the cutoff and Phil Hellmuth made the call from the big blind. Hellmuth stood pat while Mercier took one. When Hellmuth checked, Mercier bet 11,300.

"This feels like a bluff" exclaimed Hellmuth before finally making the call. Much to Hellmuth's chagrin, Mercier tabled {9-} {5-} {4-} {3-} {2-} , causing Hellmuth's cards to get cast into the muck.
