The American poker pro Jason Mercier has done it again! Today, he took home the $5k Six-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha Championship and laid hands on the first prize of $619,575 and his second WSOP gold bracelet! Mercier had to overcome a strong field totaling 507 entrants, and it was the most impressive tournament win of his career. Mercier has cashed 18 times at the World Series of Poker - more than $1.5 million won! In total, he has more than $6 million in live tournament earnings.

Believe it or not, however, it's the real deal! T.J. Cloutier, or someone else, is selling the braclet he received after winning the $5k No Limit event in 2005 WSOP. The starting bid for the bracelet is only $2,9999, but one can expect the final bid to be much more than that. The bracelet should have an invaluable value since it was won by T.J. Cloutier who has won 6 WSOP bracelets and won more than $10 million in live tournaments. Why he's selling the bracelet remains unclear. Let's hope that we get some answers very soon, because it would be really interesting to know.

Daniel Alaei was unstoppable when the final day of the tournament started. He took the chip lead straight away (from being in the middle of the 17 remaining players) and never let go of it. For the win he received almost half a million dollars and also his second WSOP bracelet.
