You Winzeler Some, You Lose Some

Jason Mercier has now extended his chip lead, moving up to 5.3 million as the heads-up battle continues here in the ESPN Main Stage.

Earlier, Mercier raised to 120,000 from the button before the flop; Hans Winzeler re-raised to 360,000 and Mercier called before both players checked the flop of {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} as well as the turn of the {6-Diamonds} before Winzeler checked again on the river {3-Hearts}, only to fold after Mercier bet out 435,000.

In the next hand, Winzeler raised to 125,000 and Mercier called before check-folding after Winzeler quickly bet out after the flop of {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

Two hands later, Winzeler raised to 120,000 from the button and again Mercier called to see the flop of {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Mercier checked and Winzeler bet 150,000, but Mercier check-raised to 385,000. Winzeler called and then both players checked down the turn of the {K-Clubs} and the river {J-Clubs}.

Mercier showed down {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} for two pair and Winzeler mucked his hand. Winzeler is now down to 2.3 million
