Level 36
: Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante
Terrance Reid opened to 12,000,000 in the cutoff, and Natasha Mercier moved her short stack of 17,000,000 into the middle from the small blind. Jean-Noel Thorel took some time before three-betting to 50,000,000 in the big blind.
Reid got out of the way, and the cards were turned up.
Natasha Mercier: A♥Q♠ 
Jean-Noel Thorel: K♦8♦
Both players missed the 10♣2♥9♣ flop, while Mercier connected with the Q♣ turn. The crowd gasped as Thorel spiked the K♣ river, ending Mercier's run in sixth place.
