/ (X)
Chen: (X-X) / 
/ (X)
Bleznick: (X-X) /

Mercier bet on fourth street, both Chen and Bleznick called. On fifth street Mercier quickly bet again and Chen called after which Bleznick folded his cards.
On sixth street Chen called another bet, but on seventh he gave up when Mercier decided to throw out another bet.
