Daniel Negreanu limped the hijack, Shaun Deeb limped the button, and Philip Sternheimer completed from the small blind. In the big blind, Jason Mercier potted to 25,000, Negreanu called, and Deeb called.
On the 9♣5♠5♣ flop, Mercier led all in for 30,000. Negreanu folded while Deeb quickly called.
Jason Mercier: 8♣7♥6♣4♥ 
Shaun Deeb: 10♠10♥9♦6♦
Mercier held a wrap and flush draw against the overpair of Deeb. The 10♣ turn gave Deeb a full house, but Mercier had one out for a straight flush, which did not come on the 2♣ river, and Mercier was eliminated.
Mercier reentered shortly after.
