He threw in calling chips and then angrily chucked his hand that included AxQx across the table when Mercier announced "ace-jack," with his A♠J♦10♣3♣.
A few hands later, Maxx Coleman raised from under the gun. Mercier made it three-bets from the cutoff and was called by Alex Livingston from the button. Coleman also came along.
Coleman checked the Q♠Q♦2♣ flop and Mercier bet. Livingston folded while Coleman stuck around. The latter then check-folded to a bet on the 10♣ turn.

No-Limit Hold'em
Phil Ivey chipped up in three-way action with just one street of betting when his A♠Q♠ was best on a board of 8♠4♣3♦Q♣6♣ against Chris Hunichen and benny Glaser.
Glaser was then in the big blind and defended against the cutoff raise to 60,000 by Josh Arieh. On a flop of A♥5♠2♠, Glaser check-raised from 50,000 to 175,000 and Arieh called to see the J♠ on the turn. Glaser's bet of 340,000 was called by Arieh after brief consideration and they headed to the 4♣ on the river.
Glaser now moved forward a bet of 1,300,000 and that sent Arieh deep into the tank for nearly six minutes. While Arieh was showing plenty of emotions going through all of the possible options, Glaser was statue-like with the eyes looking right down on the felt in front of him.
Eventually, Arieh folded and Glaser raked in the pot to further cement his status as the chip leader.
