Jason Mercier
“@brandoncantu go back in your hole… And when you get there. Delete your account your 10,000 fake followers won’t be upset #DontWorry.. u begged me for the $. I said no, Bc you’re scum. Then u begged more + YOU offered a 5k penalty if u don’t pay back in 3days.”
Brandon Cantu
“Is it reasonable 4 a @PokerStars pro to publicly shame me and call me “Scum” and tweet “Get back in your hole” #NoMercyMercier.. Yes, I owe you money and I intend to pay. Shame on you for going public, thought you had more class than Shaun Deeb!”

“Might sound stupid but have any of you poker players considered written contracts? Too many of these stories.”

“Decided to fire this huge circuit event at the Rio. Been a while since my last serious nl tournament and it’s a nightmare. How is this fun? This game is seriously so boring. Can’t imagine wanting to play this for fun unless someone has a gambling problem.
