In 2010, Mercier defeated a field of 35 on his way to the title. This time around, he had to navigate his way through 78 strong opponents. Mercier came out on top of a final table that included the likes of Micah Raskin, Jimmie Guinther, Jonathan Jaffe, Michael Pesek and Eugene Katchalov, whom he beat heads up.
Mercier entered heads-up play having already locked up the bonus for claiming the most bounties and sat with a 3-2 chip lead. It didn’t take long for all of the chips to be shoved into the middle on a flop of 9
87
.
Katchalov showed 87
for flopped two pair, but Mercier was drawing very live with 10
9 for top pair and an open-ended straight draw. The turn and river fell 310, giving Mercier the best hand and the win.
