We're Back
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
The players are back in their seats and the cards are in the air. We will be playing the last 30 minutes of Level 19 and all of Level 20 before our next break.
Seed Four-Bet Shoves
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
From middle position, Huck Seed raised to 50,000 before Erik Seidel re-raised to 135,000. The players in the blinds folded and Seed moved all in. Seidel thought about it for a little while but eventually tossed in his cards.
Habib Picks Up Some Chips
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
From middle position, Chino Rheem raised to 48,000 and action folded to Hasan Habib in the big blind. He three-bet to 118,000 and Rheem made the call.
The flop came down 
and Habib continued for 100,000. The turn was the 
and this time both players checked. The river was the 
and Habib decided to bet 180,000. Rheem laid down his hand and Habib raked in the the pot.
Mercier Drops One to Habib
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jason Mercier opened with a raise from the cutoff seat to 40,000. Hasan Habib from the small blind and Erik Seidel from the big blind called.
The flop came down 
and the two blinds checked to Mercier. The youngest player at this final table fired 47,000 as his continuation bet and Habib check-raised to 100,000 even. Seidel folded and Mercier took his time before making the call.
The 
paired the board on the turn and also completed a possible spade draw that was present on the flop. Both players opted to check and see the 
river for free. Habib fired 160,000 after the final card and Mercier mucked.
Not much has been going Mercier's way at this final table as he loses another one here. He's still over a million in chips, but hasn't been able to get much rather than what he came here with.
Some Chips Back for Mercier
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jason Mercier raised to 40,000 for the second hand in a row. Hasan Habib called on the button and Chino Rheem called from the big blind to see the 
flop. After RHeem checked, Mercier bet 47,000, the same continuation bet as last time. Habib folded and so did Rheem.
Mercier Opens Third in a Row
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
For the third hand in a row, Jason Mercier raised to 40,000. Erik Seidel was the first player to make the call this time and Gavin Smith also called from the big blind. Mercier had opened from under the gun and Seidel was on the button.
The 
flop prompted no betting from Smith or Mercier as they checked to Seidel. He bet 65,000 and both his opponents folded.
Smith Has Heard Enough
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
From under the gun, Chino Rheem raised to 48,000 and was called by only Gavin Smith in middle position.
The flop came down 
and Rheem continued for 66,000. Smith popped it up to 148,000 and Rheem thought about his next move for a couple of minutes. Eventually, Rheem said, "Raise," and Smith immediately mucked his cards.
