Jason Mercier Takes the Chip Lead
Jason Mercier entered late and while we missed some of his early action, we caught the hand that took Mercier to the top of the leaderboard.
In a battle of the blinds, Espen Myrmo bet all three streets – including a pot-sized 45,000 chip bet on the river. Mercier called down and now sits over 400,000.
The tournament is heading towards another break, which will be the last before the end of late registration.
