Mercier Extends His Lead

Having raised the button to 2,650, Jason Mercier's neighbour bumped it up to 6,600. After much thought, Mercier deep reached his stack of red 5,000 chips and slid them agressively across the line. His opponent insta-folded, and Mercier breathed a sigh of relief, either because he was worried he'd run into a monster with a vulnerable hand, or he was making a move himself.

As a result, Mercier has extended his lead and now has 135,000, but is sharing a table with the leader of the chasing pack, Sami Kelopuro, who has 110,000.
