Merson Reps WSOP, Full Tilt Gear on Auction, Caesars AC Robbed

Greg Merson Represents WSOP.com

Since the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event winner cut ties with Ivey Poker this summer, Greg Merson seemed to be quite supportive of WSOP and its online poker site in Nevada. Things became clearer this week as Pokerfuse reported that Merson signed with WSOP.com as a representative. Though WSOP has yet to confirm it, Merson has been promoting the games through his various social media outlets and mentioned in a Two Plus Two forum that he signed with WSOP.com. Pokerfuse also pointed out that Merson has directed players to sign up on the online site and did wear a WSOP.com patch during Day 1A of this year’s Main Event.
