Jason Mercier busted just before the break. We missed the hand unfortunately and thus asked Eric Crain what happened to him. "He busted" Crain laughed. That we knew of course, but fortunately Robert Corcione is more helpful.
Corcione tells us that Mercier opened with pocket sevens, got threebet by somebody with kings and they got it in. Mercier wasn't able to spike a seven and that was the end of it. Mercier also busted the $5,000 Stud-8 tournament so he went from playing two tournaments at the same time to none at all. Or did he register for the 5 p.m. tournament already?

Jean-Nicolas Fortin opened the cutoff to 6,000 and Ruslan Dykshteyn three-bet from the button to 15,000. Nick Guagenti in the small blind made it pot which got the most of his chips in the middle. Fortin repotted and Dykshteyn quickly folded. Guagenti committed his last chips as well and we had a pretty big showdown:
| Jean-Nicolas Fortin |   |
| Nick Guagenti | |
Guagenti was in dire straits for an ace but the deck wouldn't supply him with one: 
| 
| . Guagenti will have to do with the $5,185 he gets for busting in 26th place.

Timothy Reilly opened with a middle position raise to an unknown amount and it folded around to Eric Crain who three-bet pot from the big blind. Reilly called all in for 37,000 total and the hands were tabled.
Reilly: 
Crain: 
The board came down 
and Reilly was able to double with his set of jacks. He's now sitting on about 75,000. Crain has fallen to around 126,000.
