Mercier Busts Charania and Ho; Takes Lead
Nível 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
After a raise to 1,600 by Denis Timofeev and the call by Michael Ho, Jason Mercier three-bet to 6,500 out of the small blind. Mohsin Charania then moved all in from the big blind for his last 9,500. Since it was not a full raise, all remaining players were only allowed to call, a fact Mercier had confirmed by floor staff.
On the 
flop, Mercier continued for 17,000 and both Timofeev and Ho called.
Mercier then splashed in his stack of T-5,000 chips after the 
turn to put the two remaining opponents all in. Timofeev folded, but Ho called for his last 25,000.
Ho: 
Charania: 
Mercier: 
The 
river was a blank and Mercier busted two players at once to take the overall lead.
