Natasha Mercier started the day with 24,400 chips and now sits on almost triple that amount after the first break of the day.
Mercier finished in third in this same event last year to earn herself $348,374 plus a husband! It was in this event that her now husband, Jason Mercier, proposed to her. Should she win this event this week, who knows what she will get this year!
While last year's finish was her best career cash, she came closer to winning a bracelet in 2015 when she finished as runner-up in Event #20: $1,500 No Limit Hold'em for $284,911, falling to Benjamin Zamani.
Look for Mercier to continue to go deep and building on her $1.1 million-plus career earnings.
