Mercier Put to The Test by Liu

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

In a heads-up pot with roughly 50,000 in the middle on a flop showing 532, Jason Mercier checked from the big blind to Jason Liu on the button who bet out 25,000. Mercier put in a check-raise to 67,000 and Liu came along.

The 2 hit the turn and Mercier kept up the aggression with a bet of 61,000. Liu took a moment before putting in a stack of 25,000 chips, covering the 160,000 behind for Mercier, who went deep in the tank.

After close to five minutes of thought, a player at the table called the clock and Mercier was given 30 seconds to act. As the clock ticked down, Mercier eventually tossed his cards into the muck and the pot was shipped to Liu.

"Four-seven of spades?" asked another player at the table who was curious of Mercier's holding.

"Something like that," replied Mercier.

Stephen Chidwick then four-bet to 510,000 out of the big blind with QQ and Anderson quickly folded.

"You got it, Stevie?" Seymour inquired and added "you got it, you got it" shortly after while he was still in the tank. Around two minutes passed in total before Seymour pushed all-in for 512,000 as Chidwick called.

The board ran out 9734A and Seymour called a

"I wasn't trying to slowroll,I was just legit afraid you had aces," Seymour clarified while his stack was being counted.

Steel Wheel for Luther

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nikita Luther
Nikita Luther

The under-the-gun player raised to 20,000, finding three callers; the hijack, button and Nikita Luther in the big blind.

The flop came 252. The action checked to the hijack who bet out for 30,000. The button called, as did Luther. The original raiser folded.

The 4 turn checked through to the 8 on the river. Luther check again and so did both her opponents.

Left of the button, Luther who had to show first. She tabled the A3 for a turned straight flush. Unfortunately for her, no additional chips went into the middle on the turn or the river.

No Gold for Mr. Gold

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jamie Gold, Main Event, Suffle Up And Deal, Horseshoe Feature Table
Jamie Gold, Main Event, Suffle Up And Deal, Horseshoe Feature Table

Tracy Nguyen raised it up in early position and Jamie Gold shipped all in for just over 200,000 in the hijack. Hermilo Garzavillareal reshoved all in from the cutoff as the biggest stack at the table. The rest of the table folded including Nguyen and the two remaining hands were tabled.

Jamie Gold: AxJx
Hermilo Garzavillareal: AxKx

The flop came KxQx4x to give Garzavillareal a pair of kings but Gold picked up a straight draw. The 8x and 9x runout bricked out for Gold and he made his way to the payout desk, not quite earning the $12,000,000 that he did back in 2006.

Barry Greenstein

Rhian Fineis opened to 30,000 from late position before Barry Greenstein moved all in for a little over 100,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to Fineis who quickly called to put Greenstein at risk.

Barry Greenstein: 88
Rhian Fineis: JJ

Fineis had Greenstein crushed although the 10JQ flop did give the at-risk player a gutshot. It did not come in, however, on either the 4 turn or 5 river to bring Greenstein's Main Event run to an end.
