Don't tell me the economy's down - Jason Mercier don't want to hear you cityboys whinging and whining. The Florida Kid took down the PokerStars EPT London £1m Showdown, defeating John Juanda in heads-up play to earn a £516,000 first prize and cement his status as one of the most talented young pros in the poker community. Juanda, meanwhile, earned £327,000 to add the £868,800 he earned at the 2008 WSOPE just days previous. Congrats to both players and to all who cashed!
