Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier opened the action with a raise to 8,000. Players folded their hands around the table until the action hit Team PokerStars Online Pro Vicente Delgado in the small blind. Delgado cut out a three-bet to 28,000 and the big blind folded. Mercier came back over the top with a four-bet to 59,000 and Delgado called to see a flop.
The dealer produced a 
flop and Delgado checked. Mercier continued out for 38,000 and Delgado check-raised all in over the top. Mercier went into the tank, visibly put in a tough spot while he quickly riffled chips and talked through the hand to himself under his breath. After pondering the decision for some time, Mercier announced a call for his own tournament life of what looked to be around 140,000 more.
