Jason Mercier: 3♠3♦
Mehdi Saeed: 7♥7♠
Mercier was in rough shape and looked set to be eliminated from the tournament. The flop came 3♣2♦J♦, however, vaulting Mercier into a commanding lead. Nothing changed on the 8♣ turn but the river came 7♦, causing a collective gasp to spread around the table as Mercier made his exit.
