Mercier is moving on

The theme of the day at the feature table seems to be play your hands fast and bust your opponent early. In the Spades bracket, Jason Mercier knocked Daniel Negreanu out in near record time after Negreanu pushed on a board of {j-Hearts}

{j-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

.

Negreanu showed {5-?}

{5-?}

{5-?}

for two pair, but Mercier’s {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{Q-?}

gave him the stronger hand. The {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

on the river provided no help for Negreanu who’s 2010 National Heads Up Championship came to a quick end.
