Jason Mercier is back in with a shout after doubling-up. He opened shoved 4,500 with {j-Spades}{3-Spades} and was called by his opponent holding {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran {k-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{x-} to make Mercier a lucky flush.

From the same area of the room Scot Tolbert advanced after winning his table.
