Mercier Jumps Into Chip Lead

We caught a big hand between Jason Mercier and Ryan Dellazizzo that saw Mercier add to his wall of chips. Mercier, Dellazizzo and Shaun Deeb took a flop of {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Dellazizzo was first to act, and put out a bet of 8,500. Deeb quickly folded, and they took the {j-Spades} on the turn. Dellazizzo announced "pot", which totally to 29,300 exactly. Mercier thought for about a minute before cutting the chips out and tossing them in for the call, ballooning the pot to 90,000. The river brought the {7-Spades}, completing a straight and a flush. Dellazizzo checked, and Mercier took advantage of the check, and fired out 41,000. Dellazizzo tanked for about four minutes into the break, and finally folded his hand. Mercier took the pot, and when Deeb asked him to show two cards, he oblidged and showed the {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.
