Kleijnen the Early Leader; Mercier Crushed

From middle position, Bryn kenney raised to 800. Ton Kleijnen reraised from the button to 2,100. Action then folded over to Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier. He four-bet to 5,725. Kenney folded, but Kleijnen called.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Mercier slowed down with a check. Kleijnen fired 10,000 with two blue T5,000 chips. Mercier met him with a call.

The turn card was the {6-Diamonds} and Mercier checked again. Kleijnen moved all in for 33,475. This sent Mercier into the tank for a couple of minutes. He wound up making the call, tabling {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. Kleijnen held the best of it though with the {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}. Mercier was drawing dead and the river card completed the board with the {8-Clubs}.

Mercier was left with just 8,000 chips while Kleijnen rocketed to a field-leading 100,000.
