Ray Qartomy’s table just broke, and he moved to a new spot on the direct right of Jason Mercier. While Qartomy was still settling into his chair, he opened to 20,000 in middle position, and Mercier three-bet shoved for 101,000 in the cutoff.

“Whatever it is, I call,” Qartomy said, putting Mercier at risk.

Qartomy: QsJs
Mercier: 8s8c

Mercier had to sweat it the whole way, but the Th4d3s5s5d run-out was clean enough to give him a double-up with eights up.

“Did I win?” he asked, smiling across at Qartomy.

Jason Mercier – 222,000 (28 bb)
Ray Qartomy – 360,000 (45 bb)
