Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier lasted only one hand before being forced to reload. He picked up pocket queens and was able to get all his money in ahead of the 
suited for Reza Mostafavi. Unfortunately for Mercier, Mostafavi flopped a flush and went on to win the hand.
Mercier immediately went to the registration desk and purchased his reload. He's not back in the field, but will have to make this bullet count as it's his last one.

Alexander Roumeliotis had opened preflop with Reza Mostafavi calling, as did Mike McDonald in the big blind to see an 

flop.
McDonald checked, Roumeliotis bet 1,600 which Mostafavi called, as did McDonald. All three players checked the
turn before McDonald led out for 5,625 on the
river. Roumeliotis folded but Mostafavi simply moved all in for around 80,000 (although it was effectively 40,000 as that was the size of McDonald's remaining stack).
Timex let out a wry smile on his face, as did Martin Jacobson and Sorel Mizzi, after about a minute he folded but coerced Mostafavi into showing his cards - 
.
"Thankyou," said the young Canadian, "I promise I'll show you a hand later."

On the turn of a 


board, Kevin MacPhee had bet 2,600 only for Timo Pfutzenreuter to raise to 5,500. The former EPT Berlin champion quickly made the call to see the
on the river.
MacPhee checked and Pfutzenreuter bet 8,000 which was quickly called. The latter turned over 
and a frustrated MacPhee flashed 
which he then sent into the muck.
