Jason Mercier is one of the premier top poker players currently. He has had several big wins and strong cash finishes in live and online poker tournaments alike. But aside from that, he is also a very good cash game player. Jason Mercier undoubtedly is emerging as one of the hottest young stars in recent times.
Originally from Fort Lauderdale in Florida, Jason Mercier, like so many of his peers, was first turned on to poker by Chris Moneymaker and his big score at the 2003 World Series. Jason Mercier originally wanted to be a Math teacher, but thanks to Moneymaker and the opportunity to rack up the hours online at college, he decided to make a living through poker.
