Mercier Obscene Chip Leader

At this time, Jason Mercier seems to be, in the parlance, pwning this tournament.

As illustration, please witness how he has pwned former chip leader Saar Wilf in the past 10 minutes or so:

Blind on blind in a limp/checked preflop confrontation, Mercier bet out 57,000 on the turn of the {J-Hearts} {4-Spades} {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} board and Wilf called. Come the river, though, Mercier bet 163,000, and this time Wilf folded.

A few hands later and Mercier raised preflop; Wilf called. Mercier proceeded to bet out around 50,000 on the {J-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} flop, and again Wilf called. They saw a {Q-Diamonds} turn and Mercier bet out 107,000, but this time Wilf made it 250,000. "All in," said Mercier. "Excuse me?" said a surprised Wilf. After a few moments' contemplation, Wilf folded.

Wilf - down to 373,000
Mercier - up to 2,046,000. That's over a fifth of the chips in play, and no-one else has over 860,000. Wow.
