Mercier Forced to Fold

John Leathart opened to 5,200 from late position, Jason Mercier three-bet to 12,800 on the button, and Leathart called. The dealer fanned {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}, and Leathart checked. Mercier continued for 14,600, and Leathart raised.

Mercier quickly released, and Leathart pulled in the pot, showing the {q-Clubs}.
