When arriving at the table, Jason Mercier and Ronald Connor had all their chips in the middle and the board was already reading {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Mercier's cards were face up in front of him and he had the lead with {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} against the {a-Spades}{5-Spades} of Connor.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river brought the {5-Clubs}. Connor made trip fives on the river, earning him a double-up. Mercier had just over 10,000 remaining and would go on top bust a couple hands later.
