Kirk Steele raised under the gun to 40,000, Jason Mercier moved all in from the big blind for 150,000, and Steele quickly called with Ad2d.

Mercier turned over AcQs, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came Qc7s2hKc5c, and Mercier won the pot with a pair of queens to double up in chips.

Jason Mercier  –  330,000  (17 bb)
