Jason Mercier, with an 85,000-to-15,000 lead on Andy Bloch, raised enough pre-flop to put Bloch all in. Bloch called with a small ace, . Mercier showed a slightly bigger ace, . The hand seemed destined for a chop but Mercier paired his kicker on the flop . By the turn Bloch was drawing dead and, like Antonio Esfandiari before him, was eliminated from the tournament.
