Maryland man wins World Series of Poker

A 24-year-old Maryland poker professional won the World Series of Poker main event, outlasting his final opponents in a marathon card session of nearly 12 hours for the $8.53 million title on Wednesday. Greg Merson emerged with the title before dawn in Las Vegas after a session that proved a showcase for his skills amid the unpredictability of tournament no-limit Texas Hold 'em. On the last hand, Merson put Las Vegas card pro Jesse Sylvia all-in with a king high. Sylvia thought hard, then called with a suited queen-jack.

"This whole stage is nothing you could ever prepare for," Merson said. Merson's hand held through the community cards _ two sixes, a three, a nine and a seven _ to give him the title and put his name alongside former champions including Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Johnny Chan. After an exhausting session, he's ready to join them.
