It took two hands to send Jason Mercier to the exit. He was crippled at the hand of Ed Pardey, whose split nines turned into trip nines by the river; Mercier's board was showing an open pair of jacks before he mucked it.

A few hands later, Mercier was all in on third started with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

. Steven Stencil got in there with {q-Diamonds}

{q-Diamonds}

{k-Clubs}

. Stencil made a pair of nines; Mercier made a pair of deuces, which was not enough. He's out in 16th place, earning $4,646.
