Jason Mercier wins ... again
For those with Jason Mercier fatigue, click away. The rest of you... more good news.
On Monday, Mercier captured an undercard event at the European Poker Tour’s London stop, winning $185,000 U.S. The buy-in was £2,500.
Mercier had won nearly $450,000 U.S. for his fourth-place finish at the WSOPE Main Event, plus he won a pot-limit Omaha bracelet in Las Vegas earlier in the summer. He signed a Team PokerStars deal shortly thereafter.
Congrats to AnteUp Magazine for beating me on this one.
This quote from PokerStars, which also has a nice 3-minute video on him:
"I'm really pleased. It was quite a fast structure and at one point early on the final table I got short but won two coin flips in a row. That got me back up and eventually when I got heads up with Bruce Atkinson I was down 2:1 in chips. But I kept chipping away at his stack and managed to take a 5:1 chip lead. I got all in first with Q-9 to his K-6 and lost, but next hand I pushed with 4-4, he called with A-2... and I won."
