Marvin Rettenmaier made history this week when he became the first player ever to win back-to-back World Poker Tour main events.

The young German emerged victorious in the WPT Merit Cyprus Classic, the first event of the new WPT season XI, after winning the WPT Championship $25,000 main event that closed season X in May.

Rettenmaier topped a field of 329 entires, earning the $287,784 first-place prize and 720 Card Player Player of the Year points for the win. As a result he climbed into third place in the overall standings with 3,272 points and $1,872,791 in year-to-date earnings. This was Rettenmaier’s third title of the year, and sixth final table finish as well.

Rettenmaier eliminated all five of his final table opponents en route to victory, as well as seventh place finisher Erik Cajelais the day before. Cajelais took home $43,690 and 180 points, moving him into 27th place in the rankings for making his fourth final table appearance of 2012.
