Jason Mercier jammed for 156,000 from the hijack and Qiang Xu called as the bigger stack from the big blind.

Jason Mercier: Qx10xAll in
Qiang Xu: A♥K♥

Mercier pulled ahead on the Q♦9♠8♥ flop, and remained best after the 6♦ turn. However, the K♠ river gave Xu the better pair to seal the checkmark.
