Jason Mercier moved all in for 47,000 from the cutoff and David "ODB" Baker called on the button. Dan Smith then reraised to 115,000 in the big blind, Baker reshoved for 350,000, and Smith folded.
Jason Mercier: A♠3♠ 
David "ODB" Baker: A♦Q♦
Mercier found himself dominated and immediately lost all hope of survival as the K♦5♦2♦ flop gave Baker the nut flush. The board ran out 3♣4♥ and Mercier was sent to the rail.
"Good luck. It was fun, until it wasn't," Mercier said on his way to the exit.
