Winzeler Grinding Back

Hans Winzeler is not giving up without a fight, as he's now moved back to over 3.2 million against Jason Mercier, who's down to 4.3 million.

Earlier Winzeler raised to 120,000 before the flop, only to see Mercier re-raise to 360,000 from the big blind. Winzeler called, then Mercier fired out 420,000 on the flop of {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Winzeler called, but quickly folded after Mercier opened for 710,000 after the dealer produced the {2-Spades} on the turn.

Three hands passed before Jason Mercier came in with a raise from the button and Winzeler called before check-calling Mercier's bet of 95,000 on the flop of {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Winzeler did the same after Mercier's bet of 235,000 on the turn of the {5-Spades}, but re-potted all-in after Mercier opened for 385,000 on the river of the {5-Clubs}.

Mercier wasn't particularly happy with that prospect. "You really have ace-queen here? I don't think so ..." he mumbled to himself. Even so, Mercier elected to fold, and Winzeler flashed {Q-}{J-} before raking in the chips.
