Marigliano Over Million, Mercier Close
All of the action has been on Table 1 and this time a 1,000,000 chip pot was up for grabs. Mark Davis held pocket kings and Marcello Marigliano held a double-suited hand that needed to hit to win. He did – shown below – and Margiliano is now one of the tournament chips leaders.
A few minutes later, Jason Mercier moved close to seven figures. He did so without going to showdown, instead picking a perfect pre-flop spot to punish three players under the chip average.
After Mark Davis’ elimination, Isaac Haxton and Aku Joentausta also hit the rail.
