Two-Tabling Jason Mercier

Will Shillibier

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

When players resumed after their first break of the day there was a notable absentee from his seat. 2016 WSOP Player of the Year and five-time bracelet winner Jason Mercier was over in the Brasilia room playing in the $3,000 Limit Hold'em 6-Max Day 2 where there are 68 players remaining.

39 of them will get paid and with Mercier sitting pretty with an above-average stack in this event, he will be hoping to make the money in another tournament today.

Got Aa in vs JJ on the 2nd hand of day 2. To double up. Now in the money of the 1500 NLH
