WSOP 2016: Jason Mercier Wins Fifth Bracelet, Other Highlights
The 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) saw a flurry of exciting tournaments and notable achievements. One of the standout moments was Jason DeWitt winning a million dollars in the Millionaire Maker tournament. DeWitt, who previously worked as a packer in a supermarket, had a remarkable journey to this victory, including winning a bracelet in a $5,000 6-max tournament in 2010.
In the 8 Games 6-max tournament, Paul Volpe secured his second WSOP bracelet. Volpe's victory came against a group of veteran offline players, showcasing his skill and experience. Another highlight was Liza Meredith, a kindergarten teacher, winning her first WSOP prize of $500,000 in the Millionaire Maker tournament. This was her first-ever WSOP tournament, making her achievement even more impressive.
Jason Mercier made headlines by becoming a four-time WSOP bracelet winner. His victories included a win in the HORSE tournament, where he secured his fifth bracelet. Mercier's performance was particularly notable as he won two first places and one second place in a week, showcasing his dominance in the tournament.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
