Jason Mercier Eliminated by Dan Smith
Dan Smith has just eliminated the man currently ranked number one in the Global Poker Index - Jason Mercier. We joined the action at the death knell with the board displaying 
. Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier had bet 18,000 and Dan Smith had moved all-in. Mercier called and then mucked his cards, unseen, after Smith turned over 
for the full house. Mercier handed all of his stack to Smith including Sammy the Seahorse.
"Don't give him that bad luck charm," said Negreanu as Mercier left the table.
Listening to the table talk we do not expect Mercier to buy back in.

Chartier Picking Up Momentum
We just watched Sam Chartier pick up two hands and move himself up near 400,000 in chips. The first hand was against Gus Hansen and the second against Erik Seidel.
On the first one, Hansen check-called a bet of 33,000 from Chartier on the 
board before seeing the 
land on the river. Hansen checked again and Chartier jammed all in for 89,600. After a long tank from Hansen, the call was made. Chartier tabled the 
for a full house and Hansen mucked his hand.
Shortly after that, Chartier was up against Seidel on the 
board. He check-called a bet of 50,200 from Seidel before firing 122,000 on the

Check-Raise from Shak
With 17,100 in the middle on the 
flop, Dan Shak checked to Tobias Reinkemeier. Reinkemeier fired 10,000 and Shak check-raised to 25,000. After a minute, Reinkemeier folded and Shak won the pot to chip up towards 450,000.
Although many would consider Shak an amateur poker player, he has plenty of big buy-in accolades to his credit. Shak has numerous cashes in events with five-figure buy-ins, but we're not going to focus on that here. We're going to look at the ones with another zero tacked onto them.
In 2009, Shak took fourth in the Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge for A$200,000. A year later he won the event after defeating Phil Ivey heads up for the A$1,200,000 first-place prize. Earlier this year, Shak took second behind Team PokerStars Pro Viktor Blom in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100,000 Super High Roller for $846,700.
