And they're dropping like proverbial flies now -- also gone is Joel Nordkvist, who raised under the gun and got himself called by a now be-sunglassed Jason Mercier in the big blind. Mercier checked the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

flop and Nordkvist bet 7,100; Mercier then raised to 45,000, well covering Nordkvist. After an almost interminable time in the tank, Nordkvist called, and he was no good.

Nordkvist: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

Mercier:

{8-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

Turn:

{K-Spades}

River:

{6-Spades}

Off he goes.
