Johnson Doubles; Mercier Busts Chew

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Marco Johnson just doubled up with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} versus the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for Stevan Chew. The money went in preflop, and the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} to give Johnson the double.

Chew was left crippled, and Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier busted him right after with the {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} versus the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. The board ran out in Mercier's favor, and Chew hit the rail.

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

Jason Pritchard opened to 8,500, Sorel Mizzi put in a three-bet to 21,500, and Pritchard moved all in for 90,000. Mizzi called.

Pritchard: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Mizzi: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Mizzi's hand held up as the board ran out {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, and Pritchard was eliminated.

The very next hand Mizzi opened to 9,000 and called a three-bet of 21,000 from out of position. Mizzi check-called a bet of 32,000 on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, then led out for 72,000 after the {6-Hearts} turned. The player called.

The {4-Diamonds} completed the board, Mizzi bombed the river for 173,000, and the player folded.

Mizzi is now up to 670,000 chips.

Mercier Jams On Boeree

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

Two Team PokerStars Pros and former European Poker Tour Sanremo winners went to battle on this hand, and it was Jason Mercier who came out on top.

From under the gun, Mercier opened to 8,000. Liv Boeree, who recently joined the table, received a count on Mercier's stack and then reraised to 19,000 from the hijack seat. Play folded back to Mercier, and he reraised all in for right around 96,000. Boeree folded, and Mercier won the pot.

Rossiter Eliminates Monaghan

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

An all-in preflop confrontation saw Adam Monaghan get his stack in the middle holding the {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} only to run into the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} of Jeff Rossiter. The {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop wasn't particularly interesting, but the {J-Diamonds} turn was as it gave Monaghan a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the {K-Hearts} blanked on the river.

Big Slick vs. Queens

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree opened for 8,500 under the gun and cleared the field to the small blind, who decided to shove all in for his last 90,000. Boeree snap-called.

Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Boeree: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was your classic flip, and small blind was poised to double after the {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop failed to help his opponent. The dealer then burned and turned the {K-Spades} to pair Boeree and put a dagger through the small blind's heart. The {6-Clubs} river changed nothing and the small blind took his leave from the tournament.

Keeping Up With the Jones'

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jarod Ludemann checked to Rhys Jones, who has a larger than average head according to EPT regular Pratyush Buddiga, on a flop of {4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and Jones fired out 9,500. Ludemann considered the bet for a bit before calling, then led out for 17,500 after the {10-Clubs} turned.

Jones raised to 36,000, Ludemann moved all in for 90,000 or so, and Jones snapped it off.

Jones: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Ludemann: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Ludemann was drawing to the case four, and the river was four-sided, but the {5-Spades} was no help to the American. He hit the rail just shy of the money, and after taking down another pot after the knockout, Jones is up to around 650,000 chips.

Newey No Longer in Contention

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Paul Newey
Paul Newey

Paul Newey was grinding a short stack for the entire day, but his time has expired short of the money.

The high-roller regular got the last of his chips in with the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and was up against the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} of Bob Trask, who you may recall eliminated Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein back on Day 1.

Newey got it in good, but he was not rewarded as Trask ended up making a full house after the board ran out {7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

Jones vs. Rubianes

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

With 20,000 or so in the pot and a flop of {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, Rhys Jones checked from the big blind and then called a bet of 10,500 from Vincent Rubianes in the under-the-gun position. Both players checked the {K-Diamonds} turn, and then action repeated itself on the {5-Diamonds} river. Rubianes tabled the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights, and it was good as Jones mucked.
