Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier grew up five-betting. Now he does it for a living.

It appears to have been a good career choice as he's now earned some $15,805,926 doing it live and close to another $2 million online.

Mercier has collected EPT Main Event and High Roller titles, World Series of Poker bracelets, and wins in just about every major online series on PokerStars or otherwise, and perhaps owes it all to this signature move.

The patent-pending Mercier five-bet worked to perfection moments ago when Nikolaus Teichert led for 1,750, Mercier made it 4,600 and Teichert four-bet to 13,000.

Mercier pulled the five-bet out of his bag of tricks after that, making it 45,000 to cover the 24,000 Teichert held behind.

Teichert folded and with completely unconfirmed rumors flying around that Mercier may have held big slick, he chipped up without showdown and put another five-bet notch in his belt.
