Seat 5: Jason Mercier (652,000)
Jason Mercier stormed onto the poker scene in the first half of 2008 after he won the EPT San Remo, which takes place just across the Italian border, for over $1.3 million. Since his boom, Mercier has been accumulating tournament results around the world in bundles. He currently has nearly $8 million in tournament earnings and two World Series of Poker Bracelets to his name: 2011 WSOP $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha - Six Handed for $619,575 and 2009 WSOP $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha for $237,462.
Mercier is no stranger to the WSOP Europe; in fact, in 2009 he entered the Main Event final table as the chip leader, but ultimately finished in fourth place for $440,620. Obviously he's looking for redemption here today.
3 years ago I had a massive CL going to the FT of this event. I had 35% of the chips but ended up getting 4th. This time I have 6% #nbd #wniOctober 04 2012Follow
