While Mercier pocketed the majority of this sizable prize pool, Watson wasn\u2019t left empty-handed, taking home $93,495 for his second-place finish.<\/p>\n<p>On the final day, the tenacity of poker veteran Erik Seidel was hard to ignore. Seidel, eyeing his tenth WSOP bracelet and his second in no-limit 2-7, left a string of defeated players in his wake. Despite gaining early momentum by doubling through Jon Turner, Seidel was the first to bow out, toppled by Watson\u2019s strong play.<\/p>\n<p>Turner, grappling with a dwindling stack, was the next to exit. His unfortunate demise came at the hands of Brad Ruben, who held a pat ninety-eight. Despite Turner\u2019s valiant effort, he couldn\u2019t draw a winning hand against Ruben\u2019s strong play, finishing the day in fourth place.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/7bit.partners\/p617d974b\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"7Bit Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7BitCasino.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/7bit.partners\/p617d974b\" title=\"7Bit Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">7Bit Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong>\u00a0Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

Coming into Day 4 as the chip leader, he was the one to watch. However, his fortune took a nosedive after an incredibly close hand, leading to Watson doubling up. In a twist of fate, he found himself at the bottom, and soon after, Mercier sent him packing.<\/p>\n<p>Mercier and <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/poker-interviews\/mike-watson-the-fundamentally-sound-super-star\/\">Watson<\/a>\u2018s heads-up play was a high-stakes face-off that lasted ninety minutes. Eventually, Mercier pulled ahead with a ten-seven that overcame Watson\u2019s jack-seven. This winning streak continued when Mercier expertly trapped Watson with a jack-nine, and cashed in on Watson\u2019s bet on a pair of queens.<\/p>\n<p>With Watson backed into a corner due to Mercier\u2019s relentless offensive, he had no option but to call when Mercier raised the stakes. Watson\u2019s ten-eight draw offered a glimmer of hope against Mercier\u2019s similar hand. However, luck favored Mercier, who drew a winning five, claiming the title and proving once again why he is one of the best in the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Table Results<\/h3>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 192pt; box-sizing: border-box; border-spacing: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\" border=\"0\" width=\"256\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<td class=\"xl64\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; width: 48pt;\" width=\"64\" height=\"20\">Result<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl64\" style=\"width: 48pt;\" width=\"64\">Player<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl64\" style=\"width: 48pt;\" width=\"64\">Country<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl64\" style=\"width: 48pt;\" width=\"64\">Prize<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\" height=\"20\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">Jason Mercier<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">United States<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">$151,276<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\" height=\"20\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">Mike Watson<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">Canada<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">$93,495<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\" height=\"20\">3<\/td>\n<td style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">Brad Ruben<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">United States<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">$63,505<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\" height=\"20\">4<\/td>\n<td style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">Jon Turner<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">United States<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">$44,002<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\" height=\"20\">5<\/td>\n<td style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">Erik Seidel<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">United States<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">$31,114<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\" height=\"20\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">Richard Ashby<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">United Kingdom<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom: var(--grey-300);\">$22,461<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"height: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-top: 8px;\" height=\"20\">7<\/td>\n<td style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-top: 8px;\">Jonathan Glendinning<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-top: 8px;\">United States<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-top: 8px;\">$16,562<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/poker-news\/jason-mercier-wins-wsop-event-60-nets-sixth-bracelet-and-151276\/\">Jason Mercier Clinches Sixth Bracelet in WSOP Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in full swing, history has been written in Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw.
