Jason Mercier Chases Back-to-Back in H.O.R.S.E. Championship as 57 Remain

Back-to-back for Jason Mercier?

Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and the 2017 World Series of Poker for Day 2 of Event #30: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship

Thursday saw 150 players take to the felt to create a prize pool of $1,410,000. The top 23 players will make the money, with a min-cash worth $15,000 and a $383,208 first-prize awaiting the eventual champion. Numbers have been down across the board at the WSOP this year, and this H.O.R.S.E. Championship was no exception as it dropped 21 players from 2016 (171), 54 players from 2015 (204) and 50 players from 2014 (200). In 2013 this event was run as a $5,000 buy-in which saw 261 players take part.

However, even with lower attendance then expected, an all-star field was still here to battle it out as Eli Elezra, Nick Schulman, Chris Klodnicki, Jennifer Harman, John Monnette, Jesse Martin, Mike Gorodinsky, Max Pescatori, Mike Matusow, Mike Leah, Todd Brunson, Jeffrey Lisandro, Chris Vitch and Ray Dehkharghani were all unable to survive the 10 levels of play.

One player who did make it through — and who was the last man standing in this event in 2016 — was Jason Mercier who slowly crept up the chip counts yesterday before rocketing to the top in the latter part of the day to eventually bag 384,500 and be in fantastic position to achieve an extremely rare feat at the WSOP of going back-to-back.

On Mercier's heels are Mack Lee (347,500), David Bach (278,500), Tom McCormick (224,500), Mark Gregorich (222,500), Ted Woolridge (210,000) and Eric Rodawig (204,000). The remaining women are led by Esther Taylor (201,500) and Maria Ho (90,000). Also still alive are multi-time WSOP bracelet winners Brandon Shack-Harris (171,500), Brian Rast (150,500), Howard Lederer (149,500), Paul Volpe (126,500), Benny Glaser (121,500), Greg Mueller (64,500), Daniel Negreanu (61,500), Michael Mizrachi (47,000) and Phil Hellmuth (33,500).

Play is set to begin at 2:00 p.m. (PDT) with PokerNews providing extensive live updates of all the action as we find out who will win this year's H.O.R.S.E. Championship. So stay tuned right here for all your 2017 World Series of Poker needs!

John Racener

Hold'em

From middle position, Brian Rast opened to 10,000 before John Racener three-bet the small blind to 15,000. Rast eyed Racener's stack then dropped in a four-bet to 20,000. Racener pushed his last 23,000 into the middle and the cards were placed on their backs.

Rast: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Racener: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

With Racener in dominating shape, the {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Clubs} flop would see him flop top set but leave outs to a wheel for Rast.

The dealer delivered the {4-Diamonds} on the turn completing Rast's straight, and when the {Q-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Racener hit the rail as Rast climbed to 185,000 in chips.

Andre Akkari raised from the cutoff, Brian Rast three-bet from the small blind and Akkari called. Rast then fired all three streets on the {K-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} board and Akkari followed all the way.

Rast turned over {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for a pair of kings and Akkari mucked which left him with only three big bets.
