Jason Mercier, who won his first bracelet in Vegas this summer to add to the variety of other high-profile titles he's won during his short career, has just propelled himself way up the leader board after knocking out another player.

The two of them saw a {K-?}

{K-?}

{4-?}

{Q-?}

flop and the action went as follows:

Soon-to-be-busted gentleman: check
Mercier: bet 2,900
S.T.B.B gent: raise to 7,675
Mercier: reraise to 16,900
S.T.B.B.G: all in
Mercier: call

And the cards:

S.T.B.B.G: {K-?}

{K-?}

{10-?}

Mercier: pocket fours for a set

Turn: {6-?}

{6-?}

River:

{5-?}

Mercier is up to 70,000, although he is not quite the, "New chip leader," that tablemate Viffer is claiming he is.
