Jason Mercier took the chip lead at the final table after that he had eliminated both Shawn Buchanan and Matt Glantz.

Just a few days ago i also was put away from Tony G Sunday Bike Ride with Ah Jh. Flop brought Qg 8h 6h, and my only oponent in this hand went all in. I was following him for a while and i knew he didnt have much. We were even in terms of stack and there still 15 guys to go away so we can reach prizes. I havent thought much and went all in too. He showed Qh 3c. Neither turn or river would bring me hearts or aces. I had more outs than him, but that was just not enough. Too bad for Stein too...

i was watching the live coverage and the knockout is just 5000$. But the point was imo, that it's almost like winner takes it all.

What a massive gap $450k for first place and $75K for second. Thats massive gap. Still as it was HU i could see they'll get a big gap but still much more than norm. Mercier is a class above really. I've seen him play and he can. Turn and river come to his rescue... how many times has that happened? Still gutted for 2nd, Sam Stein.....
