Thorel Busts Mercier
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
On a flop of 
Jason Mercier check-raised Jean-Noel Thorel's 20,000 continuation bet to 77,000. Thorel called, and called Mercier's 100,000 shove on the 
turn as well.
Mercier turned over 
for a flopped two pair from the big blind, but he needed to improve as Thorel tabled 
for the nuts with a redraw.
The river 
was a blank and Mercier, the sole PokerStars Team Pro playing today, made his exit with under half an hour of play left for the day. Thorel meanwhile, is the owner of one of the biggest stacks in the room.
