A have a look at all of the highlights from the PokerStars world this weekend.
* Mercier wins a fifth WSOP bracelet, his second in every week* Jonathan Schuman wins UKIPT/Estrellas Marbella Main Event* Koby295 wins the Sunday Million for a payday of $188,000
At the beginning of last week it was suggested thon the WSOP website was riddled with typos, because Jason Mercier kept appearing at the top of the chip counts in every $10,000 event. By the tip of the week, the similar accusations were made because he wasn't on the top.
It have been quite per week for the yank Team Pro. By now you will have heard the news, but just in the event you haven't Jason Mercier won two WSOP bracelets last week, and managed to come back second in another event in between.
We detailed all of that at the blog, the primary win which along side the second one win bookended a remarkable week. As well as Brad Willis wrote about Mercier's father, and the role his family plays in supporting him in his career.
All of which recounts a unprecedented week in Las Vegas, which Mercier tells in his own words at the PokerStars Blog. There's nothing to prevent that story continuing for a while yet.
While Mercier was winning in Las Vegas, players who preferred their dry heat in this side of the Atlantic set course for Marbella. Spain, for the joint UKIPT/Estrellas Main Event. Some 844 players did so, paying the €1,000 + €100 buy-in. That meant a prize pool in far more than $800,000 and a primary prize of €96,159 to eventual winner Jonathan Schuman of the united kingdom after a three-way deal on the final table yesterday.
Our reporters were ringside from the start, with live updates and an end of tournament report that you could read here.
