Jason Mercier was born and raised in Florida which is where he got his start in poker. He was a very good athlete while in high school like a lot of top poker players. The competitive spirit that makes people great athletes also makes them great poker players. In addition to his athletic prowess Mercier was also an excellent student and would receive an academic scholarship to attend college. Unfortunately it was while was at college that Mercier started to really get into poker and this would lead to the loss of his scholarship. He would therefore return home to attend community college.

It was while he was at community college that Jason Mercier decided to become a professional poker player. At first he played in local cash games and online but he realized that if he was going to advance his career he would have to move away. The problem was that he was still not old enough to play in American casinos so he moved to Europe and started playing the European Poker Tour. This is why the biggest wins of this career where on the EPT.

Now that he is actually old enough to play in American casinos he has returned home and started playing in the major tournaments in the States. He has found quite a bit of success at the World Series of Poker where he has picked up two bracelets. In addition he has made it to one finals table in the main event. These are accomplishments that most people would love to have over the course of their careers, Mercier has done it before his twenty fifth birthday.

While Jason Mercier is best known for the huge success that he has had playing in live tournaments he is also a very successful online player. Most of the top players have started to play online mainly because they are sponsored by the sites. In the case of Jason Mercier however the online game is something that he takes very seriously and has gotten quite good at.

It would of course be an understatement to say that Jason Mercier has a bright future in poker. He has already won some of the biggest events in the world and he is really just getting started. The only concern is one that applies to a lot of young players, that he may get bored and decide to move on and do other things besides poker. With the amount of money that he has won he is in the position where he can do anything that he wants.
