The flop was a sweat for Mercier with the open-ended straight draw, however, the turn and river both bricked off. "Chop it up?" Mercier joked and promised to be back soon for the second bullet.

There were 15,200 chips in the pot and the board read when we got to the table. Fraser MacIntyre had committed 10,500 from the hijack and was facing a decision from the player on the button for a total of 46,700. MacIntyre called.
The fell on the river and MacIntyre tossed out a bet of 51,000, putting his opponent to a decision for the remainder of his stack. He had what looked like 26,400 behind and went into the tank for several minutes. Eventually, the clock was called and he was given 30 seconds to act. He still hadn't acted after the seconds had ticked all the way down so his hand was declared dead and the dealer pushed the pot MacIntyre's way.
