In der neuesten Poker Life Podcast Episode von „joeingram1“ ist der Überflieger des diesjährigen WSOP-Sommers Jason Mercier zu Gast. Der erfolgreiche US-Poker Pro und Gewinner der „WSOP 2016 Player of the Year“-Wertung gewann in diesem Jahr zwei Bracelets und schrammte nur haarscharf an einem dritten Titel vorbei.
Für Extra-Spannung sorgte Mercier mit seinen etlichen Zusatzwetten, die er vor und während der World Series of Poker mit befreundeten Spielern und anderen Kollegen aus der Community einging. Mit Vanessa Selbst wettete er beispielsweise, dass er in diesem Jahr in Las Vegas drei Bracelets gewinnen würde, was ihm bei einem Einsatz von $10.000 fast $1,8 Millionen beschert hätte. In dem Interview redet Mercier sehr offen über die Wetten mit seinen Kollegen und gibt einige Details preis.

Besides that, I don’t know if he actually believes that I’m not that good or whatever it is.
