A career defined by one of poker's greatest comebacks.
Merson entered the 2012 Main Event as a short-handed cash game specialist. After falling to roughly one big blind deep in the tournament, he rebuilt his stack, reached the final table and defeated Jesse Sylvia heads-up for the championship.
The victory followed his bracelet in the $10,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship and completed a season that earned him WSOP Player of the Year.
