It's good to see Jason Mercier winning such an important event like this, he is one of those young promises who have a lot to give to the game and this victory will help on his way in every ways.

But everyone as rainy days every now and then on his carreer, and this may be just one of those for Blom.

jason is used to winning, really no big surprises here. blom is very unpredictable player- probably due to his overaggressive play style- most of the time he busts or wins big- not a lot of in betweens. really small field though only 93 players- almost like 10 tables sng. 8 game is no holdem, even though holdem is a part of the structure
