A big congrats to one of my favorite young guns- Jason Mercier as he snagged his second bracelet this week in Event #35. The $5000 PLO 6 max event had roughly 500 players and it was a tough field to navigate.

Durrr made a deep run in this event but eventually missed the final table. Mercier took a commanding chip lead and ended up victorious after three days of play.

You gotta love this guy. It seems like every final table he makes, he ends up taking it down. He's got some serious end-game skills and he's always a blast to sweat.

Congrats Jason!
