Mercini's Kings Cracked
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player opened to 25,000 and Satoshi Tanaka moved all in for 250,000 from the button. Peter Mercini three-bet all in from the big blind and the original raiser folded.
Satoshi Tanaka: 
Peter Mercini: 
Mercini had picked up a big blind special, but the 
gave a pair and a flush draw to Tanaka and left Mercini drawing to a single out. The 
turn and 
river did not help him. After a quick count, he was covered by just 25,000 chips and Mercini was eliminated.
