Jason Mercier Eliminated in 8th Place (£26,812)

Jason Mercier - 8th Place
Jason Mercier - 8th Place
With just under 100,000 in the middle and a {10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{A-Spades} lying patiently on the felt, Jason Mercier found himself all in for around 115,000 with {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} against the {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} of Theo Jorgensen.

With Mercier looming over the table, his breath held, the turn came a most welcome {9-Hearts} to give him a straight to the jack. Mercier clenched his fist in silent celebration, but the fat lady wasn't singing just yet, as the board could still pair to give the Dane the pot.

The board may have paired, but it was the {A-Diamonds} that hit to give Jorgensen quad aces and send the young American out in eighth. One again, the poker gods display their teasing ways.
