With a little more luck we could've been looking at two-time bracelet winner Heinz Kamutzki, as the German already made two top 10 finished in no-limit hold'em tournaments. Kamutzki, however wasn't that fortunate, but he's still working on putting together a very impressive summer.
Kamutzki first finished in seventh place in the $3,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event for $45,022 followed by a sixth-place finish yesterday night in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em. Last night he cashed $65,202 and that puts his total career live tournament earnings over $1,000,000.
Today Kamutzki's off to a good start again as he sits on around 7,000 chips already.
Johnny "World" Hennigan is no longer in his seat, having been replaced by a new player after losing the last of his chips. Hennigan had some great success in this series already. He finished runner-up in an event just like this one last week for $319,993, but his run here today is done.
Barry Greenstein tossed in some chips in the small blind to call a raise preflop and four players went to a flop. The dealer dealt out and Greenstein led out for 400. The player on his left in the big blind pushed all in and everyone folded except for Greenstein, who made the call.
