{Q-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

, Gareth Edwards bet 1,500 from the big blind. Isabelle Mercier raised to 6,000 and Ming-Kit Cheung called. Edwards re-raised all in for 11,000 total and both Mercier and Cheung called. Mercier and Cheung were heads up on the side. The turn card came the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

. Mercier, who had Cheung covered, moved all in for about 30,000. Cheung thought for quite sometime before eventually folding. With action complete, the players showed:

Edwards: {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

Mercier:

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

The river brings the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

giving Mercier the nut full house and the pot. She is now a force with about 55,000 chips. Gareth Edwards was eliminated in the hand.
