High Roller: Jason Mercier Wins Championship ($652,800), Ian O’Hara 2nd ($391,700)

$25,400 High Roller Event (Re-Entry)
Level 21: 20,000/40,000/5,000 Ante

A hard-fought battle for this High Roller championship has ended crowning Florida’s own Jason Mercier as the winner.

O’Hara raised to 100,000 on the button and Mercier raised to 265,000.  O’Hara then pushed the rest of his 1.235 million chips in the middle with Mercier making the call.

Mercier turned over JhJc and O’Hara showed AhKc.  The flop came out Ks2cJd giving Mercier a set of jacks and paired O’Hara’s king.  But no more help came for O’Hara on the 4d7c turn and river giving Jason Mercier the hand and the title.

Jason Mercier wins the High Roller championship for $652,800 while Ian O’Hara takes home $391,700 for his runner-up finish.

Congratulations to our High Roller Champion – Jason Mercier!
