High Roller: Mercier Takes The Lead

$25,400 High Roller Event (Re-Entry)
Level 21: 20,000/40,000/5,000 Ante

The tables have turned in our High Roller event.

On the button, Jason Mercier bet out 80,000.  Ian O’Hara raised to 230,000 and Mercier called.

The flop came 2s7hQc and O’Hara fired 180,000 chips with Mercier making the call. O’Hara then bet 525,000 after the Kd came on the turn and Mercier once again called. After the Ah hit the river, O’Hara checked and Mercier bet 1.2 million getting O’Hara to fold.

With the win in the hand, Mercier took the chip lead away from O’Hara.  Mercier now stands at 4.4 million with O’Hara at 3.9 million.
