Mercier vs. Lamb: Mercier Takes Control

We pick up the action on the river over at Jason Mercier's table. The board read {J-Spades} {6-Clubs} {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, and Mercier checked first to act. Benjamin Lamb fired out 10,000, and Mercier put in a check-raise to 52,500. After some debate, Lamb called.

Mercier tabled {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} for the turned straight. Lamb couldn't beat that, and he mucked his two cards. With that pot, Mercier has pulled ahead of his opponent, sitting with 290,000 to Lamb's 190,000

Steve O'Dwyer Defeats Albert Iversen

Steve O'Dwyer raised from the button to 12,000 and Albert Iversen called from the big blind. The flop came {J-Spades} {9-Hearts} {6-Clubs} and Iversen check-called a 30,000 bet from O'Dwyer.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Iversen checked again. O'Dwyer made a large all in shove. Iversen had 130,000 behind and would be at risk if he called the overbet.

He decided to make the call and showed {9-Spades} {2-Spades} . O'Dwyer turned over {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} .

The river bricked out with the {7-Spades} and Albert Iversen was eliminated from the tournament.
