Daneshgar Eyeing the Prize

David Daneshgar
David Daneshgar
David Daneshgar already has a couple of cashes to his credit at this year's WSOP, one in a hold'em event and the other in seven card stud hi/lo. He is currently second in chips, behind leader Dan Heimiller.

Daneshgar has numerous cashes to his credit from the past five years -- almost all in hold'em events -- with career earnings exceeding $1.6 million. That's the highest total earnings of our remaining players, although Heimiller has nearly made that much with a consistent, lengthy career full of cashes.
