Mercier Runs Into the Zinno Buzzsaw
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Bryn Kenney opened for 13,000 from the hijack and Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier three-bet jammed for 141,000 from the small blind. Anthony Zinno, who was recently named the World Poker Tour Season XIII Player of the Year, then called from the big blind and Kenney got out of the way.
Mercier: 
Zinno: 
Mercier ran his pocket pair smack dab into a bigger one, and he paid the ultimate price after the board ran out 
.
Meanwhile, Andrew Chen was also eliminated from the tournament.
