Forrest into the Trees

Ted Forrest moved his short stack all in on an {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, and Jason Mercier called.

Forrest: {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw
Mercier: {q-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a pair of queens

Forrest picked up a flush draw and a smaller pair with the {j-Hearts} on the turn. But the {10-Clubs} on the river gave Mercier the better two pair and the win. Forrest booked it off the stage and out of sight before the audience could give him a round of applause. Mercier will play the winner of the match between Andy Bloch and John Juanda.
