Looking into the abyss

Oh oops. Jason Mercier, running so incredibly well up until now, is bust.

Almost all the chips went in in a blind-on-blind confrontation with Jose Rosenkrantz, Rosenkrantz in the small blind and Mercier in the big.

Rosenkrantz: {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

Mercier:

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

Board:

{J-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

This put Rosenkrantz up to 340,000 and left Mercier with... 2,000. Yup, that's one third of a big blind. He more than tripled up next hand with {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

against

{Q-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

, but his

{A-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

came a cropper the hand after that to a gent holding pocket sixes. Thus ends the excellent run of Jason Mercier.
