Julian Thomas opened the action with a raise to 10,000 and John Juanda called from one seat over in the hijack. Jason Mercier in the cutoff moved all in for 89,500 and Thomas asked for a count, then moved all in over the top. Juanda briefly flashed his cards and mucked and Mercier was at risk with the inferior pocket pair.
Julian Thomas:
Jason Mercier:
The flush outs were also a mere threat, as only a straight flush would have helped in that case. Instead, the board came and Mercier was also sent to the rail only minutes after Daniel Negreanu bowed out.
