Chris Not Bjorin Again

With just moments to spare, we lost lean-mean-cashing-machine Chris Bjorin. It was Jason Mercier who lit the first spark, raising it up to 14,000 from late position, only for London-residing Bjorin to push all in from the button for a total of 97,000. After a minute or two of deliberation, Mercier made the call.

Mercier: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Bjorin: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Board: {4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Consequently, Mercier leapt up to 340,000.
