: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
The money was in the middle preflop between Jason Mercier and Tyler Cornell.
Mercier: 
Cornell: 
The 
flop kept Mercier comfortably in the lead but the 
turn gave Cornell the draw to go with his two overs. But hope was fleeting for Cornell and the 
river gave the pot and the double up to Mercier.
After it was over Mercier told the table: "It's been a long time since I squinted at the river." He can now open his eyes as he sits comfortably with an double average stack.
