On Tuesday, Aaron Mermelstein took down his second WPT title after winning the World Poker Tour Maryland Main Event! Mermelstein, who won the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open in January this year, bested a field of 337 runners and a final table that included two-time WSOP bracelet winner Greg Merson to bank $250,222 and a seat into the $15,400 buy-in WPT World Championship. He is the 25th person (Gus Hansen, Carlos Mortensen and Season XIII Hublot WPT Player of the Year Anthony Zinno etc.) to have scored two+ WPT titles.
The next stop on the World Poker Tour will be in South Africa: the WPT Emperors Palace Poker Classic. The tournament is scheduled for October 30 - November 1, and we will keep you informed on the Main Event and other big events.
