Congratulations to Jason Mercier, Winner of Event #32 $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-max ($633,357)
Jason Mercier raises on the button to 240,000 and Simon Deadman three-bets to 720,000.
Mercier takes a moment and asks for a count of Deadman's stack before he announces an all-in bet. Deadman ponders for a moment and tells Mercier he has king-queen before he pushes forward one stack of green chips, indicating a call.

Deadman:
Mercier is ahead, but the flop gives Deadman outs to a straight and a bigger pair. The turn is a blank, as is the river and Deadman is out in 2nd place for a $391,446 payday.
Congratulations to Jason Mercier who topped a field of 550 entries to win his third WSOP Gold Bracelet and a $633,357 first place prize.
