Cruel River for Mercer
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Bradley Mercer jammed for 1,270,000 from the button, and he was called by Charles Alex-Barton in the big blind.
Bradley Mercer: A♣K♦ 
Charles Alex-Barton: K♣9♣
Both players hit top pair on the 8♣6♣K♠, but Mercer was still in the lead.
He had to avoid clubs, and that's what happened with the 3♠ turn. But the Q♣ river completed Alex-Barton's flush and Mercer was eliminated.
