The reigning champion and five-time WSOP bracelet winner, Jason Mercier, has just arrived to defend his title.

Although Mercier is having a quiet start to his 2017 WSOP compared to the way he kicked it off in 2016 with three back-to-back final tables, it still won't deter the recently married father-to-be in continuing the grind for another bracelet.

So far at this WSOP, Mercier has captured three WSOP cashes in Event #14: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. (107th), Event #18: $565 Pot-Limit Omaha (31st), and Event #23: $2,620 The Marathon (143rd).

Exactly a year ago today, Mercier bested a field of 171 to emerge victorious and collect the $422,874 first prize after defeating James Obst heads-up on a stacked final table featuring some of the world's best. Here is how the final table results finished:

Bronstein: {X-}{X-} / {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} / {X-}
McCormick: {X-}{X-} / {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} / {X-}

On seventh, Bronstein bet, and McCormick called.

Bronstein tabled his {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a low and a pair, as McCormick tabled his {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} for aces up.

Bohlman Chops

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Scott Bohlman raised to 1,200 and was met with five callers from the hijack around to the big blind.

The flop fell {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Bohlman continued for 600, with only one player dropping out, as the {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

The blinds checked, and Bohlman bet 1,200. Tom Koral folded, the button called, the small blind folded, and Randy Ohel called in the big blind.

The {4-Spades} river completed the board, and Bohlman bet 1,200, with only the button player calling, as Ohel mucked.

Bohlman tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} for the nut-low and the third-nut straight, but when his opponent tabled {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} for the nut-straight, the pot was chopped up.
