Jason Mercier is widely considered to be one of the best all-round poker players in the world today, and has been ranked number 1 by both ESPN and Global Poker Index.
Originally from the east coast of Florida, Mercier was first introduced to poker in high school, interested in the mathematical side of the game. Mercier went on to Florida Atlantic University for one year, before attending Broward Community College for another two years to complete his Associates Degree, with the intention to pursue mathematics. However, as his success in poker began to grow, and his earning potential became evident, Mercier turned away from his studies and pursued poker full time. Mercier was first introduced to the poker world as he won the first major event that he played, the 2008 San Reno EPT for $1,372,893. Mercier continued this trend of instant success as he finished 6th at the 2008 Barcelona EPT, and taking down the High Roller Event at the European Poker Championships.
Banking over $2,000,000 in tournament winnings for 2008 made it a fantastic breakout year for Mercier. Mercier has enjoyed considerable success at the World Series of Poker, with nine final tables and two gold bracelets. Both his bracelets are Pot-Limit Omaha, as he won the $1,500 event in 2009 and the $5,000 six-handed event in 2011. Mercier has also performed well at the World Series of Poker Europe making the final table of the main event twice: 4th in 2009 and 8th in 2012.
Online, Mercier is currently a member of Team Pokerstars, which he gained after achieving the SuperNova Elite status for his high level of play on the site. While he currently plays under his real name, Mercier’s old online username ‘treysfull21’ came from his belief that pocket threes were his lucky hand, combined with 21 – his lucky number.

High Stakes PLO - Jason Mercier vs Elton TsangTsang and Jason Mercier playing a big PLO pot Down Under
As opposed to Jason Mercier’s challenge who simply offered 3-to-1 and 2.7-to-1 odds to win a gold bracelet, Hastings had a different idea last summer. He proposed a Daily Fantasy Sports point system for the whole WSOP and whoever performed better would win the bet.
When Ian Johns decides to register for a tourney, he usually leaves his mark and walks away with a hefty profit. That’s what happened ten years ago when Johns won his first WSOP bracelet and that’s what has happened in this year’s WSOP so far.
If the first week of the 2016 World Series of Poker brought us the shock returns of both Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson, and all the talk of recriminations and reprisals which went with it, then the 2nd week hasn’t let us down either.
Mercier explained in an interview that 2-7 single draw is one of the purest forms of poker, in terms of reading your opponent, whether he has it or doesn't, and whether he has the best hand or your do.
Selbst made mistakes. Both involved massive prop bets against two poker players and the possibility to win three WSOP bracelets in one summer. And now, having the sweat of her life, she regrets them.
The stakes got a lot higher though when Vanessa Selbst joined the sweat party. She gave 180-to-1 odds to win three WSOP bracelets this summer. If Mercier takes down three events, he will get $1.8 million.
The World Series of Poker is not just about Texas Holdem, it’s about other less known poker games too. Forget about Omaha, Stud and Lowball, do you know anything about Badacy? How about Baducy?
Betting on the World Series of Poker takes many forms, but players offering odds on themselves to land a bracelet or two (or even 3!) seems to be the in thing as this year’s WSOP gets underway.
Elite players run through the hand in their hand, weighing up what their opponents may hold. It is no easy task and when they make up their mind they put their money where the mouth is.
There’s $15million up for grabs and there are 49 of the poker world’s biggest and best high-stakes players vying for a share of the spoils – and day 1 of the Super HighRoller Bowl from Las Vegas didn’t disappoint!
