Biography

Jason Mercier is an American poker player with over $20 million in lifetime earnings, according to Hendon Mob. Mercier has won six World Series of Poker bracelets as well as a European Poker Tour title.

In 2016, he won the World Series of Poker Player of the Year title, after winning two bracelets and a runner-up finish all within an eight-day period, one of the most impressive and memorable runs in WSOP history.

Mercier, a Florida resident, is married to Natasha Mercier, also an avid poker player, who he proposed to at a WSOP final table in 2016. The couple have two children. Jason Mercier no longer plays professionally due to having a family and wanting to spend more time with his wife and young children.

In 2018, he stepped down as a PokerStars Team Pro after "eight and a half wonderful years."

Mercier tacked on his sixth WSOP bracelet at the 2023 summer series when he took down Event ##60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw for $151,276, beating out a stacked final table that included poker legend Erik Seidel.

Biography

Mercier was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He picked up the game of poker in his late teens, but only started taking it seriously in college. Before he learned about poker Mercier was certain he would become a math teacher and was even studying to become one. He got his start playing poker in high school with friends and then after the poker boom hit, took to the online felt. Playing under his then-alias “treysfull21”, Mercier concentrated on cash games while dabbling in tournaments.

He stormed onto the poker scene in 2008 after he won the European Poker Tour (EPT) Sanremo Main Event, after satelliting in on PokerStars.

In 2010, he won a WCOOP bracelet and was named by Daniel Negreanu as one of the top five young poker players in the game.

Jason Mercier at the World Series of Poker (WSOP)

Mercier first played in the World Series of Poker the same year of his EPT triumph, cashing in three WSOP events. The following year he grabbed his first bracelet in a Pot-Limit Omaha event.

His second bracelet also came in a Pot-Limit Omaha event two years later.

After picking up a third WSOP bracelet in 2015, this time in a No-Limit Hold'em event, Mercier picked up two in a single year in 2016. He cashed 11 times in 2016 and made four final tables, clinching the WSOP Player of the Year title.

It was also in 2016 that he proposed to his now-wife Natasha after she was eliminated at the final table of the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em.

Mercier would return to cash 11 times in 2017 and four times in 2018, and has since taken a step back from poker to focus on family life, but still returns to Las Vegas to compete in a couple bracelet events each year. In 2023, he added a sixth bracelet to his resume and is on track to reach the Poker Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible in 2027.
