Mercier's Tournament Comes to an End
Just a few hands after doubling up through Mikhail Smirnov, Jason Mercier was all in for a second time. It was Smirnov that he was up against once more and this time Mercier was behind.
Mercier: 
Smirnov: 
The flop came down 
and Smirnov stayed in front. The turn 
meant that Mercier was just one more card away from elimination. Unless Mercier could catch an eight on the river, his tournament would be over.
The river card was the 
and Mercier had missed. Smirnov had him covered and Mercier headed to the rail in 10th place. The remaining nine players will now rejoin at one table. We'll have those seating assignments and chip counts for you shortly.
