Mercier Axes Another
Meanwhile, our on-the-spot photographer Neil Stoddart reports that chip leader Jason Mercier has just eliminated Jeff Kimber from the main event. Mercier won the hand with two pair (kings and fours), besting Kimber's unimproved aces. All of the money went in on a flop.
After the hand, Joe Beevers told Mercier, "I'll pay for you to go and play roulette!"
