Jason Mercier stopped by to do some live commentary of the final table. Upon arriving, the other announcer let Mercier know what has happened so far and that there was already a raise at the 20,000/40,000 level to 180,000.
"The blinds were 20/40 and he raised to what? One-hundred eighty?" commented Mercier.
Georgios Kapalas opened with a raise to 120,000 and well, everyone folded. Not much going on here, but he did rake in the blinds and antes. Next hand please.
