Jason Who?

Jason Mercier's first table has already broken, but they didn't seem to know who he is. Mercier opened for 50 and had three callers. The flop came {5-Spades} {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs} and Mercier bet out 125 and had two callers. The turn brought the {J-Clubs} and Mercier fired out 450 and had one caller. The river fell {7-Clubs} and Mercier fired again, this time 1,325. The last opponent called again and Mercier insta-mucked.

The guy that won tossed his cards into the muck without showing. Others at the table wanted to see the hand but the dealer had already washed the cards. One at the table said, "Someone should call the floor."

Mercier's reply: "I could care less."
