With Jorgensen checking the

Jorgensen
Jorgensen flopped a set of sixes, but Ferguson was in good shape with the nut flush draw and a straight draw. The turn, though, was a total disaster for Ferguson as the
landed, making Jorgensen quads yet again. The inconsequential 
fell on the river and Jesus hit the rail in seventh place, collecting ￡33,000 for his efforts today.
lying patiently on the felt, Jason Mercier found himself all in for around 115,000 with

of Theo Jorgensen. With Mercier looming over the table, his breath held, the turn came a most welcome
to give him a straight to the jack. Mercier clenched his fist in silent celebration, but the fat lady wasn't singing just yet, as the board could still pair to give the Dane the pot. The board may have paired, but it was the

with Jason Mercier facing a foreboding bet of 124,000 from Theo Jorgensen. After a few seconds, Mercier made the call.On the

No chips found their way into the middle, but Jorgensen had around 400,000 and it was obvious he had his man covered.With 210,000 before him, Mercier's body sagged as Jorgensen made his move. As pensive as ever, he pitched up tent in the think tank and dwelt for a good few minutes. As Jorgensen remained stationary, a tortured Mercier removed his cap and shook his head continuously as he continued to mull.
Just as I was thinking complimentary thoughts about the patience of the table, the clock was called (by whom, I remain unsure) and a one minute warning was given. A few moments later, Mercier made the fold.
