Mercier Loses Million-Chip Pot

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Jason Mercier's stack has suffered the first big dent to his stack after a battle in the blinds with Vladimir Troyanovsky.

The latter raised to 100,000 from the small blind and Mercier peeled to see a {4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop. Troyanovsky led for 100,000 and the Team PokerStars called to the {j-Diamonds} turn where his oppoenent checked to him. He took the invitation to bet by sliding 270,000 forward. Call.

Both players checked the {q-Spades} river and Troyanovsky's {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} bettered Mercier's {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}. He dropped to around 3.3 million whereas the Russian is up to 2.2 million.
