From the small blind, Jason Mercier raised all in. Erik Seidel called from the big blind holding the {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Mercier held the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Mercier was all in for under 600,000.

The flop came down {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Mercier whiffed so far, although he did pick up some extra outs to a gutshot straight.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} to pair the board and then the river landed with the {10-Diamonds}. All five community cards missed Mercier and he was eliminated from play.

Seidel is now heads up with Chino Rheem and has successfully landed himself in the top spot on the Global Poker Index rankings list.
