Jason Mercier Bracelet Bet vs. Vanessa Selbst (1 Viewer)

[JFCJ]

Another shot at it... go Jason!

 

[jbutler]

This guy is insane. Lol at him calling it that $100k was shit offer and actually being right. Fuck me.

Yes, chip leader after Day two in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship.

 

[jbutler]

I mean even if he doesn't even win a second bracelet, back-to-back-to-back runs like this is craaaaaaaaazy. If he keeps it up he could truly be setting up the best WSOP run of all time.

 

[David O]

And he is third in POY point?

The POY point system has rarely been good. They have tried to adjust it a hundred times and there always seem to be players who have truly extraordinary summers and somehow don't receive what would seem to be equitable points for their runs.

Also worth noting no points have been awarded for tourneys that haven't finished yet, so after the HORSE event is over, he should get quite a few more points.

Saw a tweet that basically read "Congrats @venessaselbst for winning the $10k Razz." Which I thought was funny and appropriate.

She's gonna need more run good today... Dude's on a heater.

 

[12thMan]

What a beast. Not sure about the chest hair thing the other night, but damn!!

Mercier just won his 2nd bracelet in the 10K horse. The sweat is on!

 

[Señor Tony]

Vanessa is in for one hell of a sweat for the next month! Plenty of small field $10k events still to come for Jason to have a good stab at the third bracelet.

I have never even considered for a second to not pay up on a bet that I have made (especially those that involve alcohol). What would the consequences be if she welshes on the bet? Reputation? End of sponsorship/endorsements? Shunned by poker community? Civil action?

 

[Ghoti]

What a sicko

 

[eXtremum]

I would say reputation would be scolded a little, after publically backing out of a prop bet. Nothing serious, but would definitely be frowned upon. After all, prop bets are popular among pro poker players, and not taken rather lightly.

Over a prop bet, I seriously doubt Pokerstars would seize all sponsorship activities, on a renowned female poker player - one of the best in the female poker biz.

Yiissss!

 

[lnlver]

That Lloyd's of London insurance premium of $900,000 I came up with a few days ago doesn"t sound so unreasonable now. I'm rooting for him to do it. I watched up til the dinner break, after he lost that crazy hand to Friedman.

You talking 'bout Vanessa?

I think there may be a price to pay among the pros who consider Jason a good guy who pays his bills. Don't know what that could entail.

 

[chkmte]

At this point Jason is on a freeroll. He could probably sell off some action and walk away a winner either way.

 

[courage]

Somewhat appropriate tribute video.

 

[jbutler]

Is there a better modern run than this though?

Reg -> 1st Place -> Late Reg Next Tourney -> 2nd Place -> Late Reg Next Tourney -> 1st Place.

Incredible.

 

[slisk250]

I'd kill to have a run like that at a meet up.

 

[Hot Nuts]

Pocketfives saying she sold most of her bet to Mike McDonald

 

[courage]

It's pretty awesome.*

*except for the busto pics. We don't snap pics of the bare felt.

Unfortunately, this was the meatup equivalent of what Mercier is doing. I say unfortunately because Chippy is far too humble of his accomplishments - I'm not even sure if people realize he's the reigning SOHE World Champion...

Anyone know the line on Mercier winning a third at this point?

Haven't seen it anywhere. I'm not sure how one would even calculate that... if I had to guess, it would be somewhere between +200 & +600.

Anyone else rip off three bracelets in a year?

Puggy Pearson, Hellmuth, Ted Forrest, Ivey, Jeff Lisandro, and George Danzer (Danzer won his third at the WSOP Asia after winning two in Vegas).

Wiki link here.

 

[rowlin]

Only Puggy Pearson, Phil Hellmuth, Ted Forrest, Phil Ivey, Jeff Lisandro, and George Danzer have done it in forty-some years of the WSOP.
