Jason Mercier opened the bet with a raise to 10,000 from the button. Nathan Doudney three-bet it up to 50,000. Mercier wasn't going anywhere, putting in another raise to 130,000. Doudney moved in, and it was pretty clear this was going to end right here. Mercier made the call, and he was the one at risk of elimination.
Showdown
Mercier:
Doudney:
The board was a big dry desert for Mercier. Unable to connect with anything, he becomes the first player eliminated in this Round of 16.
With that quick victory, Nathan Doudney's night has finished up early. He'll be back tomorrow to take his seat in the Round of Eight.
