Rivered Flush For Mercier

[user80015]
[user80015]
Seeing a complete to 75 on his opponent's {A-Hearts}, Jason Mercier bumped the action to 150 with his {A-Clubs} up.

His opponent made the call and check-called the next two streets when it fell {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} to Mercier's {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

On sixth street however, the aggression was taken away from Mercier when his opponent lead out at his {9-Clubs} to Mercier's {3-Spades}. Seventh street fell to see a check from Mercier's opponent, before he lead for 150 and found a caller.

Mercier tabled his hand as: {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} / {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} / {Q-Clubs}, and raked in the pot to move to over 6,000 in chips.

Queens-up for Schwartz!
Queens-up for Schwartz!
Ylon Schwartz lead every street against WSOP Circuit Champion Kai Landry with both their boards reading:

Schwartz: (X-X) / {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} / (X)
Landry: (X-X) / {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} / (X)

Landry called Schwartz down, only to muck his hand when Schwartz tabled {Q-Spades}{5-Clubs} / {10-Spades} for a rivered two pair and the pot.

As Schwartz continues to add to his chip stack, Landry slips to 2,100 in chips.

Dario Alioto has been sent to the rail by Brian McKain.

McKain made quad Jacks and Alioto didn't even bother seeing what he was dealt on seventh street and stood up and exited the building.
