I Love Free Stuff!

Just before the last break, floorman Jimmy Somerfield went around to the tables and passed out food vouchers for the players. The participants of WSOP events get a $10 food credit each day during play, but not these high rollers. The dining vouchers for this $50K event are worth a hefty $100 apiece.

Famed penny pincher Jason Mercier was taken aback at the sight of the free money. "How am I supposed to spend $100 in one meal?" He asked. Somerfield was already walking away from the table, but he turned over his shoulder to answer, "You can drink it!" as he headed on to the next set of players.
