Scott Seiver raised to 12,000 and Talal Shakerchi made the call. Justin Bonomo proceeded to call from the small blind and Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier did the same from the big blind.

The flop brought {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and the action was checked to Shakerchi who bet 30,000 and Bonomo called. Mercier called from the big blind and the turn brought the {8-Spades}. Bonomo checked again and Mercier bet 68,000. Shakerchi made the call and Bonomo moved all in for right around 270,000. Mercier moved all in over the top and Shakerchi open-folded {Q-}{10-}.

Mercier: {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Bonomo: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

The river brought the {6-Diamonds} and Bonomo was knocked out. Mercier has a massive chip lead with not that much time left on the day.
