2nd Place: Karl Myburgh ($62,590)



Karl started heads up play with a 9 to 1 chip disadvantage, but he put up quite a fight and doubled his stack without a showdown.  Those extra chips made it into the middle on a [7d][6d][Th][7s] board, but once again Grinder had the best of it with [Qd][Qc].  Karl held [Ac][8h] for a gutshot straight draw and an overcard, and he’d only have one shot to catch.  With a WSOP Circuit Main Event title on the line for Grinder, the dealer burned and rivered the [Jc], dashing Karl’s hopes at evening out the chip counts.  Karl has been playing poker since 2009, and today he picked up his biggest win of $62,590 for his 2nd place finish.
