Bansi Applies Pressure to Ristola; Mercier to Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu, meanwhile, faced a truly huge shove (2,235,000) from big blind Jason Mercier when he'd come in on the button for 100k. One other caller clearly had an easier decision for their cards were mucked before I could identify them, but Negreanu really looked like he was thinking about continuing with the hand. Asking for a countdown of Mercier's stack, he said, "Boy. A lot!" before eventually laying it down.
