The most recent Merit Poker Series to take place here at Crystal Cove, the $3,300 Merit Poker Retro Series, saw Serbia's Darko Svesko emerge victorious over a 1,223-entrant field, last defeating Russia's Oleg Netaliev in heads up play to take home $567,000. Netaliev himself has been active at the 2023 Gangster Series, having made a deep run earlier this week in the $2,200 Warm Up, finishing in 18th for $8,600.
