"Oh, Hey!"

Jason Mercier (Day 2) - "Oh, Hey!"
Jason Mercier (Day 2) - "Oh, Hey!"

Sorel Mizzi opened to 20,000 from early position, and the action folded to Jason Mercier in the small blind. Thinking he was the first to open the pot, Mercier grabbed 24,000 and tossed it in front of him. Andrey Gulyy, who was in the big blind, pointed to Mizzi's raise and mucked his hand.

"Oh," Mercier said surprised. "Hey!"

The two shared a laugh, and because Mercier's action was a call, the dealer fanned {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. The rest of the hand was played out in utter silence.

Mercier tapped the felt, and Mizzi continued for 16,000. Mercier looked down at his chips, assembled a handful, and check-raised to 49,000. Mizzi thought for less than 30 seconds, and called.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and Mercier opted to lead out for 84,000. Mizzi tank-called.

The river was the {k-Hearts}, and Mercier grabbed all of the red T25,000 chips sitting on top of his stack. He added a half dozen blue T5,000 chips, then tossed 223,000 forward. Mizzi asked for the amount, studied the board, studied Mercier, then folded.

"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhew," Mercier blurted.

He wasn't kidding either. After being egged on by his tablemates - especially Mizzi - Mercier showed the bluff: {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

The German Says "Nine"

Morten Klein opened for 22,000 from early position and cleared the field all the way around to Marvin Rettenmaier, who flatted from the small blind. The big got out of the way, the flop came down {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and both players checked.

When the dealer burned and turned the {8-Diamonds}, Rettenmaier led out for 26,000, Klein called, and the {6-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Again Rettenmaier fired, this time 36,000, and he tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} after Klein called. It was good as his opponent simply mucked.

Quoss' Queen

Marvin Rettenmaier opened to 21,000 on the button, Fabian Quoss defended his big blind, and the flop fell {5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, Quoss led out for 50,000, and Rettenmaier tank-called.

The {9-Clubs} completed the board, and Quoss led again - this time for 80,000. Rettenmaier thought for nearly two minutes, then called.

Quoss quickly flipped over {q-Spades}{j-Hearts} for queens and fives, and Rettenmaier mucked.

Lauttamus Quadruples But It's Not Enough

After quadrupling in the very next hand after being crippled, Juha Lauttamus shipped for a third straight time. He committed 43,000 and was met with an isolation three-bet by Aubin Cazals in the small blinds.

Showdown
Lauttamus: {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Cazals: {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The {J-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} flop paired Lauttamus' jack, but it also gave Cazals a pair of aces. Neither the {2-Clubs} turn nor {6-Diamonds} river would help Lauttamus, and he exited the tournament in 16th place.

Lauttamus Crippled

Juha Lauttamus open-shipped from middle position for 124,000 and Philippe Ktorza ended up calling off for 114,000 on the button. Both blinds got out of the way and the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Lauttamus: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Ktorza: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Lauttamus liked his ace enough to push, but he didn't like his kicker once Ktorza showed his queen. The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and just like that Lauttamus was left with just 10,000 in chips.
