John Juanda -- 542,000
, John Juanda led for 55,000 and Jason Mercier called. With both players checking the 
turn, Mercier fired out 75,000 on the 
river. After verbally going through the various hands that his young foe might have, Juanda called. Mercier showed 
for the flopped house, which, funnily enough, was the best hand.
Mercier made it 55,000, and Juanda made it all in to go. Mercier thought about it for a moment. "I'm either flipping or I have two live cards," he considered... and called!

!Jason Mercier doubles up to 1,072,000 and the chip lead, while John Juanda, who, remember, won the WSOPE main event just last week, is now the underdog with 649,000. As snoopy said, "That Juanda, he runs so bad..."

Juanda now big chip daddy and looking good to secure an incredible London double.
Mercier checked the dangerous-looking
flop and Juanda asked how much Mercier had -- it was around 600,000, and Juanda checked.They checked down the
turn and the river, at which point Juanda showed a king; Mercier mucked and it was enough to take the pot down.
only for Juanda to take it down with
