Busquet Takes a 4-1 Chip Lead

For the second hand in a row Olivier Busquet and Jason Mercier had the chips in pre-flop. Mercier had a small chip lead, approximately 120,000 to 80,000. He also had the best hand with {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} against Busquet's {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

"Is this for the win?" Mercier's boisterous rail asked. Indeed it was, but Busquet flopped a pair of kings, {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}, then held on through the {8-Diamonds} turn and {6-Diamonds} river.
