Chen Dispatches Smain and Mercier in Back-to-Back Hands

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Mamouni Smain, who qualified for this event via a €3,000 satellite, got his chips all in preflop holding {a-}{q-} and was up against the {6-}{6-} of Andrew Chen. A six on the flop all but sealed the deal for Chen, and Smain hit the rail.

In the very next hand, Brian Roberts raised to 30,000 and Chen called from the cutoff. Frederik Jensen called from the small blind, and Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier three-bet all in for roughly 280,000 from the big. Roberts folded, Chan called, and Jensen got out of the way.

Chen: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Mercier: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Roberts informed Mercier that he had folded the same hand, which obviously was not what Mercier wanted to hear. The board ran out {7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and that was all she wrote for Mercier.

"Ok, good luck," he offered before collecting his things and exiting the tournament floor.
