Congratulations to Jason Mercier, Event #5 Champion! ($237,415)

Jason Mercier jumped out to a massive chip lead on Day 1 of this tournament and never had to look back. Buoyed by a rail full of friends, the 22-year old Floridian took down his first WSOP bracelet this afternoon, a shiny addition to a mantle that is already home to two EPT trophies. Mercier was calm and in control for the duration of the final table. While some of his opponents ended up spewing off chips when they grew short- stacked, Mercier remained patient and battled back. When heads-up play commenced, Mercier took control about 30 minutes into the match, his experience and skill truly shining through. Kudos are also due to Steven "PiKappRaider" Burkholder, who turned in a runner-up performance despite his own self-admitted status as a PLO novice. Congratulations to Jason Mercier, one of the good guys of poker, on his bracelet-winning performance. Drinks are on him tonight!

Monday, June 01, 2009 to Wednesday, June 03, 2009 Buy-in: $10,000 Prizepool: $1,134,800 Entries: 142

1. Freddie Ellis $373,751 2. Eric Drache $231,013 3. Ville Wahlbeck $152,914 4. Max Pescatori $107,958 5. Hasan Habib $80,968 6. Ivan Schertzer $64,297 7. Greg (FBT) Mueller $53,885 8. Tim Phan $47,532 9. Jeffrey Lisandro $36,266 10. Daniel Negreanu $36,266

Congratulations to Freddie Ellis, Winner of Event 6 ($373,744)!

Freddie Ellis is a well-known name in stud circles around New York City and Atlantic City. As one of the older players in the field, Ellis has notably struggled with the long days that are required at the World Series of Poker. But he didn't let that fatigue dissuade him from his purpose -- win this tournament. Ellis put on a clinic on Day 1 with Daniel Negreanu at his starting table, then started surging on Day 2. Once he had some chips, Ellis showed no fear in putting them into pot after pot. And as more and more players fell by the wayside, Ellis' stack grew taller and taller. At the end, it was Ellis and another long-term veteran of poker, Eric Drache. The two men battled back and forth heads up for hours before Ellis emerged triumphant. For his trouble, Ellis will take home $373,744, a 2009 WSOP gold bracelet, and the title of Seven-Card Stud World Champion. That wraps up our coverage of Event 6, $10,000 Seven-Card Stud, but the 2009 WSOP is just getting into high gear. Check back daily on PokerNews.com from now through mid-July for all of the action. Good night!

Über World Series of Poker (WSOP):

Die World Series of Poker, oder kurz WSOP, ist eine Reihe von Pokerturnieren, die jedes Jahr in Las Vegas ausgetragen werden.

Die World Series of Poker finden jährlich im Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas statt.

Die World Series of Poker ist die grösste und prestigeträchtigste Pokerveranstaltung der Welt. Mit einer umfassenden Liste von Turnieren in allen wichtigen Pokervarianten ist die WSOP das am längsten laufende Pokerturnier der Welt und geht auf das Jahr 1970 zurück.

Darüber hinaus hat die WSOP bahnbrechende Allianzen in den Bereichen Rundfunk, digitale Medien und Unternehmenssponsoring gebildet und die Marke mit der Einführung der WSOP Europe im Jahr 2007 und der WSOP Asia-Pacific im Jahr 2013 sowie der WSOP International Circuit Series im Jahr 2015 erfolgreich international ausgebaut.

Ursprünglich wurden die Tourniere in Las Vegas Downtown im Binion's Horseshoe Casino ausgetragen. Im Jahre 2005 kaufte Caesars den Brand WSOP. Seit diesem Datum werden die Pokermeisterschaften im Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino durchgeführt.
