WSOP Main Event Fifth-Place Finishers in Action
We've got a pair of players in the field that many of you might recognize from past World Series of Poker broadcast on ESPN — Andy Black and Jon Kalmar, both of who finished in fifth place at their respective Main Event final tables.
Black is best known for his appearance at 2005 WSOP Main Event final table. He is memorable as being the chip leader, Irish Buddhist monk and the man who shed a tear after busting in fifth place for $1.75 million. Here's a video snippet from the 2005 WSOP Main Event final table as seen on ESPN:
