Urbanovich from Hero to Zero

Level 15 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

In the first hand, Dzmitry Urbanovich intended to four-bet jam into Christopher Frank and pushed a stack of green T-25,000 chips forward for a squeeze to 425,000. Frank however had more chips and then moved all in for 465,000, tabling the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Urbanovich flipped over {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and much to the surprise of everyone, didn't get there on the board {7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

One hand later, Urbanovich four-bet jammed with pocket threes and Frank snap-called with pocket aces on the button to win back-to-back hands against the EPT wonderkid and score the knockout.

Mercier Running Good

Level 15 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier opened to 40,000 under the gun in the first hand at the new blind level. On the button, Shaun Deeb looked down at {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} and decided to go with it, pushing in for a little less than 300,000.

Mercier made the call with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and found a way to crawl out from under Deeb's domination on an {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs} run out.

Deeb went broke and Mercier joined the growing group of players over the one-million mark.
