Scott Margereson and Rens Feenstra win WPT titles either side of the pond

UK pro-Scott Margererson has taken down the Main Event at the World Poker Tour Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, and Rens Feenstra has done likewise in Amsterdam.

Scott Margereson holds the queen of hearts and jack of spades aloft. A ridiculously expensive Hublot watch sits in the middle of the World Poker Tour (WPT) Championship, and Seminole Hard Rock trophies, and high above his head is a Dr Pepper banner. The fizzy drink manufacturer escaped the recent sugar-tax in the UK, after reducing sugar content by 32% (replaced with artificial sweeteners), but this was a sweet, sweet moment for Margereson.

There is nothing artificial about the UK-pro.

Margereson may not be a wholesale name on the live circuit (the amount of his WPT win exceeded his entire live tournament winnings stretching back to 2012), but he has been known to take off a head or two in the online realm. Margereson has accrued more than $4.1m playing online as “Aggro Santos.” His most significant score being $244,174.92 after winning a World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) title back in 2014.
