James Obst: {X-}{X-} / {3-}{A-}{10-}{6-} / {X-}
Jason Mercier: {X-}{X-} / {7-}{2-}{K-}{10-} / {X-}
James Chen: {X-}{X-} / {4-}{9-}{J-}{A-} / {X-}

Picking up the action on fourth street, James Obst bet with the best board. Jason Mercier raised, James Chen called, Obst reraised, Mercier called and Chen called.

Obst bet on fifth street, Mercier called all in for 3,400 and Chen called.

Obst check-called a bet from Chen on sixth street before both players checked on seventh.

Obst showed {6-}{8-}{Q-} for a ten-eight, Mercier showed {A-}{4-}{10-} for a ten-seven, but Chen tabled {5-}{7-}{10-} for a nine-seven to win the pot and eliminate Mercier.

"Nice playing with you," said Katherine Fleck to Mercier.

"There's always next year in the $10K Razz," said Mercier.
