No Mercy from Mercier

[user4144]

With both players in middle position, Scotty Nguyen raised it up to 19,000 only for Jason Mercier to make it a total of 53,000 to play from the next seat along. Nguyen conceded the hand.

Meanwhile, Joe Hachem is busy threatening to send the mothers of Nguyen and Isaac Haxton an email requesting they cut their hair.

John Juanda raised to 18,000 preflop from early position, Scotty Nugyen made it 50,000 and Juanda let it go. On the next hand, Nguyen picked up the blinds with a button raise of 19,000. He's now on 175,000.

Isabelle Mercier Eliminated in 9th Place (￡51,000)

Isabelle Mercier, by now officially the short stack, found a real hand and pushed all in under the gun. However, Michael Watson re-shoved behind, and she was in trouble.

Mercier: {A-?} {J-?}
Watson: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Board: {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}

Looks as though the Minieri neckwear couldn't save her from the metaphorical tournament noose, and the last Team Pokerstars Pro standing goes home with ￡51,000.

Jetten's in Charge

Scotty Nguyen raises to 19,000, only for chip leader Peter Jetten in the small blind to very dramatically announce, "All in," happily covering everyone at the table. Fold.
