Mercier won his fourth and fifth bracelets within four days of each other in the 2016 World Series of Poker. He won the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship for $273,335 and then won the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship for $422,874. As if two bracelets weren't enough, during his four-day bracelet draught, he finished second in the $10,000 Razz Championship for $168,936.
Pescatori won his last two bracelets in 2015 when he won the $1,500 Razz for $155,947 and the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship for $292,158.
Both of these players have a history of winning in bunches, so a deep run in Event #7 might just be the springboard they need to bring home their next two bracelets.
