Action folded around to the blinds where Jason Mercier moved all in for about 145,000 in the small. David Malka called in the big, putting him at risk.

Mercier: Qh7c
Malka : As9s

The flop came Jh5h4h, giving Mercier a flush draw in addition to his two live cards. He could not catch up, though, as the turn Jd and river Ad completed the board. Malka won the pot with aces up, eliminating Mercier on the direct money bubble.

The 13 remaining players are now guaranteed to earn at least $58,750, but the payouts will have to wait until tomorrow. The bags are out on the tables, signaling the end of Day 1.

David Malka – 758,000 (47 bb)
