Mercier's Pat Ten-Nine Good Enough to Double

Niveau 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 60,000 ante

John Holley raised to 105,000 from middle position and Jason Mercier reraised all in for 250,000. Holley tossed in the calling chips and drew one, while Mercier stood pat.

Mercier tabled 10x9x6x4x2x while Holley turned over the monster 5x4x3x2x draw. Any seven, eight, nine, or ten would have ended Mercier's run to the final table, but instead he was saved by a paired deuce.
