Mercier's Lucky Shirt
Jason Mercier has a thing. That thing involves a dark, long-sleeved, collared shirt with tan and white stripes. You see, when Mercier won his first event back in 2008 at EPT San Remo, he wore this shirt. He also had this shirt on when he won the EPT London High Roller the same year a few months later. Fast forward to earlier this year. Mercier had the same shirt on when he took down the NAPT Mohegn Sun High Roller Bounty Shootout. When he wears it at a final table, he finishes the deal and walks away with the first-place prize. All together, Mercier's won nearly $2.8 million when he rocks this striped shirt.
Mercier is wearing the shirt again today and came into the table second in chips. Does this mean he'll be walking out of here with another trophy? We wouldn't bet against it given the past.
