Jason Mercier locks up the player of the year. In my opinion is obviously the strongest MTT player out there. There are lots of close competitors but this was just his year
From what I've always seen, he's never really had a strong showing at the series, despite the previous bracelet. He's dominated other tourneys, just not there. So I think the bet with Vanessa was ballsy and a motivator but obviously a great bet given the enormous
odds. 10k well spent.
Also, he seems to have won this from his consistency rather than his 2 wins because 2 others had 3 this year, which is rare.
