We missed the preflop betting action but it finished with Jason Mercier all in from the big blind for 105,000 against Albert Daher on the button.

Mercier tabled pocket tens and Daher hung his head, taking his time to roll over his cards.

“You got nines bro?” Mercier laughed.

“Yep,” was the reply.

Mercier:
Daher:

Mercier was in good shape to double, caught a set on the flop, but had to fade an open-ended straight draw.

“Oh no, oh no,” Mercier laughed again.

It was a sweat but the turn and river were clean and Mercier doubled.
