Final Table Bio: Seat 2, Jason Mercier (384,000)

[user111541]

Jason Mericer has been among the chip leaders since the early levels of this tournament. Surging to an early chip lead, at the end of Day 2 he had 60% more chips than his nearest competitor. He was able to use the big stack effectively to ride it all the way down to the final table. Today he comes in at 394,000, fourth in chips.

Many in America may not be familiar with the 22 year old prodigy, but in Europe he has taken down over $2.6 million in cashes including an EPT Title at San Remo, a victory at the High Roller Event in London, and another EPT final table in Barcalona (all between April and October of 2008). But Mercier is not just a Hold’em specialist; he has four cashes in major PLO tournaments including a 1st place at a LAPC prelim this year as well as FTOPS takedown for $84,000.
