Mercier Claims Sekularac's Stack
The cards were all but rushed away while Ognjen Sekularac's 
were still visible and the Serb grabbed his belongings before heading to the rail. Jason Mercier dragged in the pot and Konstantinos Bouloutsos, as well as Dominykas Karmazinas, both confirmed what had happened.
Mercier raised from the cutoff and called the three-bet of Sekularac, who then bet the pot on a 
rainbow flop. Mercier raised it up to give Sekularac all but two options, and Sekularac called with his over pair to get shown the 
by Mercier. A 
immediately appeared on the turn to fill Mercier's straight and leave Sekularac drawing to the remaining jacks. He didn't catch one on the river and bowed out.
With 41 players remaining, Mercier has joined the chip leaders with a stack of 1.7 million.
