Jason Mercier is Our Champion ($1,340,867)

[user40108]

After four long days of tournament poker, Jason Mercier has emerged the victor. If you recall, Mercier was the chipleader at the end of Day 2 and hasn't looked back since. Despite the typical ups and downs that are inevitable in late-stage tournament poker, Mercier never lost focus and with a bit of luck, managed to capture his first major title. In addition to bragging rights and an EPT trophy, Mercier will collect a $1,340,867 reward for besting the large and skilled field here in San Remo. Congratulations, Jason!
