Mercier Survives After Cooler
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Jason Mercier got himself in a three-way all in with 
against the 
of Renaud Desferet and the 
of Fabian Chauriye. The board ran out 
, giving the pot to Chauriye, who started the hand with 675,000. Desferet had just 275,000 and was eliminated, while Mercier was left with 111,000.
The PokerStars Team Pro called it off shortly thereafter when Ami Barer moved in on him from the small blind.
