Steven Burkholder Doubles Through Jason Mercier

Jason Mercier opened the pot for 6,200 from middle position and Steven Burkholder flat called from the small blind. Martin Perez reraised all in from the big blind for 22,400. In an apparent attempt to isolate, Mercier re-potted. However, to his surprise, Burkholder moved all in for 90,000. Mercier called.

Burkholder: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs}
Perez: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {4-Spades} {3-Diamonds}
Mercier: {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {5-Clubs}

The board came {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs} giving Burkholder quad aces and the pot.

Perez Martin is eliminated from the tournament while Burkholder doubles through Mercier. Now the chip leader, Burkholder is at 252,000 while Mercier drops to 240,000.
