Jason Mercier opened the pot for a raise to 72,000. Next to act, Samuel Chartier, made it 140,000 to play. Action folded around back to Mercier and he grimaced as he reluctantly threw his hand away. Chartier mucked without showing and stacked the pot.

Mercier and Chartier have recently become friends and, according to EPT announcers, are actually splitting a hotel room for the tournament here in Barcelona. In fact the two have routinely been seen high-fiving and celebrating during the breaks. With €1,361,000 on the line, however, we can only assume that neither man is cutting the other any breaks on the felt.
