Jason Mercier WSOP 2016 wins 4th Bracelet
Mercier won the $10,000 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship event earning $273,335 and claims he got more than the first place prize from a bracelet earning side-bet he had with friends.
His goal is to win a side-bet that he has with Vanessa Selbst in which he is required to earn three WSOP bracelets in 2016 to score a massive payout. Having bagged his first bracelet fairly early into the series he is determined to take-down two more events to win the prop-bet.

Jason Mercier WSOP 2016 wins 4th Bracelet
Jason Mercier wins 4th WSOP bracelet at 2016 World Series of Poker in the $10,000 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship which is event 16 in the series of sixty-nine bracelet events.
If he can keep on that hot streak he has a chance to win a massive 3-bracelet-winning prop-bet that he has with PokerStars Team mate Vanessa Selbst.
Mercier played his way through a playing field of 100 players and reached the final table which included some tough competition: David Grey, Stephen Chidwick, Mike Watson and Alex Luneau.
Last year Mercier won his 3rd WSOP bracelet at the 2015 World Series of Poker Event 32: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Handed. Winning his fourth bracelet was the first time he had won consecutively in 2015 & 2016.
