Hi, Heimiller

Dan Heimiller just sat down in the $2,700 buy-in Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship event, and while he may not look like your typical grinder, there are only two players ahead of him in the 2014 Global Poker Index Player of the Year race; Dominik Panka and Keven Stammen.

Heimiller has been hitting the circuit hard during the first three-and-a-half months, cashing in 14 events in five different states. He hasn't booked any victories yet, but he reached two HPT final tables, and finished 36th in the WPT LA Poker Classic. All-in-all, Heimiller has $148,482 in earnings.

We'll keep an eye on Heimiller as he tries to add to his already impressive 2014 right here at Borgata.
