Mercier vs. Doudney: Mercier Falls

Jason Mercier - Eliminated
Jason Mercier - Eliminated
Jason Mercier opened the bet with a raise to 10,000 from the button. Nathan Doudney three-bet it up to 50,000. Mercier wasn't going anywhere, putting in another raise to 130,000. Doudney moved in, and it was pretty clear this was going to end right here. Mercier made the call, and he was the one at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Mercier: {J-?} {J-?}
Doudney: {Q-?} {Q-?}

The board was a big dry desert for Mercier. Unable to connect with anything, he becomes the first player eliminated in this Round of 16.

With that quick victory, Nathan Doudney's night has finished up early. He'll be back tomorrow to take his seat in the Round of Eight.

Paging Alec Torelli

Alec Torelli is missing in action so far. His opponent, Jamin Stokes, seems content to raise each deal and chip away at his stack.

Justin Bonomo is on the case though. He's just made a call to Torelli telling him to hurry up and take his seat.

And just as we speak, the man himself has entered the room, and the match is now going as planned.

The 16 remaining players have come back to compete in their Round 5 match-ups.

Levels increase to 30 minutes in length. All previous levels had been 20 minutes.

Players start with 480,000 in chips.

Shuffle up and deal!
