Will Mercier, Cody or Petersen Become First Two-Time EPT Champion?
When Day 4 began in the 2013 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final Main Event, there were four former EPT champions alive looking to become the first player to ever win a second EPT title. Yes, it's never happened, as hard as that may be to believe in the nine seasons of the tour.
Noah Boeken was one of those four still remaining at the start of the day, formerly a winner of EPT Copenhagen back in 2005. He was eliminated early in the day, leaving just three former winners vying for a second EPT title.
Those other three players looking to become the first at title number two are Jason Mercier (EPT Sanremo in 2008), Jake Cody (EPT Deauville in 2010) and Mickey Petersen (EPT Copenhagen in 2012). Each of the three remaining are members of Team PokerStars, making things even more exciting for this event.
While several have come close to achieving this elusive feat, it's now just down to Mercier, Cody or Petersen to complete it prior to Season 9 ending. But first, each must make it through to Day 5 and the final 16 players. That's just a few eliminations away, but the overall victory is still so far.
