Kostritsyn Forces Mercier to Fold

Mickey Doft

Mercier: {X-} {X-} / {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {10-Clubs} / {X-}
Kostritsyn: {X-} {X-} / {4-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {9-Hearts} / {X-}
Greenstein: {X-} {X-} / {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

Alex Kostritsyn was the bring in with the {4-Clubs} . Barry Greenstein completed with the {10-Diamonds} , but Jason Mercier raised with the {K-Clubs} . Both Kostritsyn and Greenstein called Mercier down until sixth street when Kostritsyn's board paired. He checked, as did Greenstein. Mercier bet, but saw Kostritsyn put in a raise. Greenstein got out of the way, watching Mercier check seventh street. Kostritsyn bet, sending Mercier into the tank for a good two minutes before he folded.
