In a battle of the blinds, Jason Mercier opened to 97,000, and Jacob Toole called from the big to see a flop. It came out 
, and Mercier continued out with 111,000. Toole didn't waste too much time calling, and Mercier checked to him on the 
turn. Toole bet 220,000, and Mercier gave it a cursory look before folding.
On the next hand, Anh Van Nguyen opened to 100,000 under the gun, and Jason Mercier called from the button. In the big blind, Jimmie Guinther squeezed in a raise all in for 1.057 million. Van Nguyen folded instantly, but Mercier spent a while in the tank as the all in was counted down. It took a couple minutes before he made up his mind to fold, returning his cards to the dealer 100,000 chips lighter.
