Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Gus Hansen, Daniel Negreanu, Devilfish - this event was tougher than a two dollar steak, but in the end, it was the less experienced face of Jason Mercier that prevailed. With an EPT win and two final tables already in the bag, Mercier came armed with a fierce reputation, and one that he cemented by treating the Grosvenor Victoria to a showcase of top notch poker.
What's more, he won without hollering, gloating or shouting his victories, and remained humble throughout. Perhaps one of the most popular players in the press room, he is not only a splendid poker player, but also a thoroughly nice chap, and one who was quick to commend his defeated heads-up opponent.
Again, the EPT comes up trumps and continues to prove why it has become the most sought after Tour in Europe. With Jason Mercier winning everything in sight, however, I have just two concerns: (1) Will everyone stop turning up? and (2) How's he going to fit all those trophies on to the mantelpiece?
Over and out.

flop. They checked down the 
turn and 
river, and Juanda took the 100,000 pot with a pair of nines.
Bah, what's that Negreanu fella ever won?
flop. Juanda bet out 22,000 and Mercier called. Juanda backed down and checked the 
turn, and when Mercier bet 60,000, Juanda looked incredibly surprised. He checked his hole cards, perhaps hoping that they had magically morphed into a better hand, and folded.
