Mercier Eliminates Trickett
Philipp Gruissem opened with a preflop raise and Jason Mercier three-bet the action to 12,900. It folded around to Sam Trickett in the big blind, who, after a moment or so, moved out a four-bet to 25,800.
Gruissem folded his hand and Mercier announced a five-bet all in. Trickett called and was at risk for his tournament life.
Trickett: 
Mercier: 
The board fell 
and Trickett was unable to improve. He was forced to ship the rest of his stack over to Mercier who is now sitting on about 290,000.
