Heads-Up: The Last Five

Both armed with massive stacks relative to the blinds, Mercier and Burkholder are thus far playing a rather careful, deliberate match, neither player willing to get too out of line yet. Here's a look at the last five hands they played.

1. Burkholder gave Mercier a walk in the big blind.

2. Mercier raised to 55,000 on the button and Burkholder called. Burkholder checked the {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Spades} flop and Mercier bet 80,000. Burkholder called. Both players checked the {10-Spades} on the turn. The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Burkholder led out for 130,000. Mercier folded.

3. Burkholder limped in on the button, Mercier made a pot-sized raise and Burkholder folded.

4. Mercier opened for a pot-sized raise from the button and picked up the blinds.

5. Burkholder made it 55,000 to go from the button and Mercier called. Mercier check-folded to Burkholder's bet on the {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts} flop.
