Part of the run-good-aments needed in a massive tournament like this is avoiding running a strong hand into another, stronger hand. That's what happened to Isabelle Mercier, who was part of a three-way raised pot that checked around on a flop of 
. Mercier bet the 
turn and was called by only one of her two opponents. When the river paired the board 
, Mercier fired out another 1,100 chips. Her opponent then raised to 3,600 and showed the nut flush, 
. That was one pip better than Mercier's 
. As a result she's down to 22,000.
