Through it all, Merson was the Lincoln Memorial of professional poker players: inscrutable, unflappable, stone-faced. He was up, then really up, and then he was down, and then up again - a poker roller-coaster ride. And in the middle, in a Baltimore Orioles jersey, sat Laurel’s very own Greg Merson, a 24-year-old University of Maryland dropout who’d overcome drug addiction and parental doubts to reach poker’s premier event in Las Vegas.įor a record 12 hours this week at the tournament’s final table, Merson battled and baffled Balsiger and Sylvia. At the other: Jesse Sylvia, a 26-year-old poker pro from Martha’s Vineyard. At one end of the World Series of Poker table: Jacob Balsiger, a 21-year-old political-science major at Arizona State.
