Level 21: 20,000/40,000/5,000 Ante

Many players would fold under the pressure of losing a chip lead heads-up to Jason Mercier. But Ian O’Hara has managed to respond quickly to take the chip lead right back.

O’Hara on the button raised to 100,000 getting a call from Mercier.  After a flop of QhJcJd both players checked.  The 6h came on the turn and Mercier bet 140,000 getting a call from O’Hara.  On a river 6c, Mercier fired another 335,000 and O’Hara once again called.

Mercier turned over Qd8d for top pair but O’Hara turned up 9s6s for trip sixes. O’Hara’s chip stack went up to 4.45 million taking the lead away from Jason Mercier who is now at 3,85 million.
