On Thursday, the final table of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise $25,000 Super Main Event got underway, and one of the favorites at the table was Natasha Mercier, who sat down with the third-largest stack.
Mercier had family and friends on hand, including her husband, future Poker Hall of Famer Jason Mercier, as she entered her fourth career WSOP final table. Her run was reminiscent of Liv Boeree’s fourth-place in last year's WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, and Mercier had the chance to eclipse that mark.
Unfortunately for Mercier, she fell two spots short of tying Boeree when she bowed out in sixth place after losing back-to-back hands, including one to a brutal river card.
