Mercier Runs Kings Into Aces
A player on the button raised to 450 and was quickly called by the small blind. Jason Mercier was in the big blind and looked as if he wanted to raise. He took a moment, gathered some chips, and made it 1,800 to go. The button got out of the way, but the small blind reraised pot. The small blind only had a total of 7,450, so Mercier put in the raise. The small blind called off and the cards were turned up.

Small Blinds: 
Mercier had run his kings into aces and knew his chances weren't great, especially after the 
flop. The 
turn left him drawing to one of the remaining kings, but the 
river was not one of them. Mercier was left with just 1,200 and a single rebuy chip.
