Mercier Soars to Big Stack With a Double Knockout
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A large four-way pot was looming over on table 143 and the flop of K♥6♦3♠ saw Sam Soverel as well as Eric Kurtzman check. Jason Mercier in the cutoff then moved all-in for 317,000 and Evan Krentzman called all-in for 127,000. Sam Soverel called as well with a shorter stack and Kurtzman folded.
Sam Soverel: A♣8♣7♠6♠ 
Evan Krentzman: A♥K♦10♦5♥
Jason Mercier: K♣Q♥J♣3♥
Mercier was ahead with the top and bottom pair, which remained to be the case with the 5♣ turn. He asked for a queen and received the Q♦ river to scoop an enormous pot.
Krentzman re-entered shortly after while Soverel can still jump back in tonight or in the first level of Day 2.
