Mermelstein Joins the Field

With nearly $1 million in live tournament earnings, a World Poker Tour title, and a recent win in a side event at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, Aaron Mermelstein is emerging as one of poker's brightest young stars. In 2015, he's won over $800,000 on the live felt, thanks large in part to his victory in the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Man Event for over $700,000.

While Mermelstein knows what it takes to win a big event, he also knows how hard it is to become successful in the game of poker. There are constant obstacles thrown in your path, and the game itself can be cruel for extended periods of time. Recently, Mermelstein was the subject of a feature interview by PokerNews' Chad Holloway in which he discusses the tough road to poker success.
