Jason Mercier was under 50,000 after moving to the outer table and made a few moves along the way trying to get back in shape. He pulled a some small pots until he put his stack in the middle with a three-bet shove for 40,500 from the button after Mustapha Kanit opened the action.

After a brief think, Kanit called and had Mercier dominated.

Most of the action seems to be flying on the feature table while the outer table is taking a more laid back approach. Other than Salman Behbehani joining them after the break, the most exciting action was a full coffee spill by Sean Winter.

He continues to lead the outer table but they are still taking it easy.

Jason Mercier was the first to be eliminated from the high roller and he was followed soon by Isaac Haxton.

Haxton was sent out after he was all-in with with the board reading against Stevie Chidwick’s flush draw/over card . The river came to fill the flush and Haxton was barely covered.

But the high roller didn’t wait long to fire another bullet. Haxton is now sitting at the outer table with a fresh stack and another chance.

Chance Kornuth was worried Jason Mercier would be sporting some newlywed run good today but that is not what happened.

Chance Kornuth opened to 2,200 from under the gun, Jason Koon called, and Jason Mercier three-bet to 10,900. Kornuth released his hand and Koon called to see the flop. Mercier bet out 7,300 to get another call from Koon to the turn.

Mercier checked, Koon bet 12,000 and Mercier pulled the check/raise all-in. Koon instantly called with his flopped boat and Mercier was drawing dead with his flush draw .

Now we’ll wait to see if Mercier re-enters.
