On the first hand of the day, Jason Mercier completed and Brad Ruben called.
Mercier bet on fourth street and Ruben called. Both players then checked on fifth.
Ruben opened the betting on sixth and Mercier called. Ruben then bet again on seventh and Mercier again called.
"Straight eight," Ruben announced, turning over 8♥5♥4♦ for a straight and a low.
"God!" Mercier yelled out in frustration as he threw his cards into the muck, leaving himself as a short stack right at the start of the day.
