Heather Mercer (New York, NY)$12,453
Mercer's elimination is nondescript compared to the hand that crippled her earlier in 4-handed play.
Angelo Pistone opened the action to 130k (blinds 25k/50k), Mercer moves all in from the button for 1.4 million, Jerry Payne calls from the big blind with less, and Pistone steps aside.
Mercer: 6♠ 6♥
Pistone: K♠ K♦
Flop: 7♠ 6♣ 7♣ (Mercer full house)
Turn: 5♣ (no change)
River: 7♦ (Pistone higher full house)
Mercer sees her full house collapse as Pistone hits a four outer to stay alive and double his 1.1 million bet. Mercer is cut to 340k.
"I couldn't believe how many incredible suck outs there were at the final table," says the New York City bakery owner, who hit a one outer to stay alive herself.
Mercer says the bakery is in good hands while she and her fiancee will continue to play events throughout the Borgata Poker Open. "If something happens, it's a short trip back to the city."
