For those who may not know, Jason Mercier is no stranger to Pot-Limit Omaha. Back in 2009, Mercier won his first and only bracelet in Event #5 $1,500 PLO after outlasting a field of 809 players. Mercier earned $237,462 for that victory while overcoming a final table that included Steven Burkholder (2nd place), Kevin Iacofano (3rd place), Matt Giannetti (4th place), Dario Alito (7th place), and An Tran (8th place).
If Mercier can dispatch Winzeler here today, he'll become a two-time bracelet winner.

Steven Merrifield (3rd Place- $239,100)
Jason Mercier raised to 100,000 on the button and was called by Hans Winzeler in the small blind. Steven Merrifield then raised pot from the big blind. Mercier immediately folded while Winzeler opted to make the call. It was heads up to the 
flop, which Winzeler checked. Merrifield put the pressure on with a 400,000 bet and Winzeler hit the tank.
After about a minute, Winzeler came out with two stacks of green T25,000 chips, totaling 1,000,000. Merrifield, who only had 550,000 behind, shook his head as he slowly folded his cards.
Two hands later, Merrifield raised to 175,000 on the button and again received a call from Winzeler, who checked the 
flop. Merrifield grabbed his remaining 350,000 chips and committed them to the pot. Winzeler snap-called and flipped 
for the nut flush.
Merrifield was behind, but he had outs with his 
. Any king or jacks would give him the win, while a queen would grant him a chop. Merrifield's supporters leaned in as the 
blanked on the turn, leaving just one card to come. The atmosphere was tense as the dealer burned and put out the 
.
It was a swing and a miss for the man known as "Ball Game," and with that he was out in third place ($239,100).

Jason Mercier has hit quad tens (the second time at this final table tonight) to move back into the chip lead with more than 3.4 million now in his ever-growing stack.
Hans Winzeler raised from the button to 100,000 pre-flop; Steven Merrifield folded from the small blind and Jason Mercier called from the big blind before before both players checked after the flop of 
.
Mercier then led out for 160,000 on the turn of the and Winzeler called before doing the same after Mercier's bet of 285,000 on the river of the 
. Mercier flipped up 
for quad tens and took the pot down, much to Merrifield's disbelief.
"Holy cow," Merrifield exclaimed. "That was the same board that came out when I had quads!" Close, but it did come out the same way!

Steven Merrifield, who has come to be called "Ball Game" here at the feature table, raised to 120,000 from the button and was called by Hans Winzeler in the big blind. It went check-bet 175,000-call on the 
flop, which was followed by a check-bet 390,000-fold on the turn. Ship the pot to Winzeler.
So far the action three-handed has been exceptionally lackluster. As always, it's only a matter of time before things pick up.
