: 200/400, 50 ante
We've lost Jason Mercier during the course of the last half hour. Word on the street is he ran pocket eights into pocket nines for his whole stack, and he was unable to improve.
Mercier won this thing back in 2008 for €869,000, kickstarting the poker career of one of the most successful young players in the game. If the EPT is going to have it's first double Main Event winner this week in San Remo, it'll have to come from someone other than Mercier.
