Aaron Mermelstein joins an exclusive club of two-time World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event champions after securing victory in the inaugural WPT Maryland Live event.

Mermelstein was cashing in only his third WPT, and he has now won two of those. Last year, he topped a field of 989 entrants to capture the $712,305 first prize at the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open, and his win in Maryland makes it title number two.
