Mercier Takes the Lead
Hans Winzeler limped from the button and Jason Mercier checked his option from the big blind. Both players proceeded to check the 
flop, leading to the 
turn. Mercier checked, Winzeler bet 125,000, Mercier check-raised to 390,000, and Winzeler made the call.
When the 
hit the river, Mercier fired out 590,000 and Winzeler made the call. The latter could only muck when Mercier rolled over 
for the nuts.
