"Just Quads!"

Jason Mercier has hit quad tens (the second time at this final table tonight) to move back into the chip lead with more than 3.4 million now in his ever-growing stack.

Hans Winzeler raised from the button to 100,000 pre-flop; Steven Merrifield folded from the small blind and Jason Mercier called from the big blind before before both players checked after the flop of {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

Mercier then led out for 160,000 on the turn of the {4-Spades} and Winzeler called before doing the same after Mercier's bet of 285,000 on the river of the {10-Spades}. Mercier flipped up {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for quad tens and took the pot down, much to Merrifield's disbelief.

"Holy cow," Merrifield exclaimed. "That was the same board that came out when I had quads!" Close, but it did come out the same way!
