Vodovoz Trying to Add HPT Title

mnuwwarah

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

One player in the field here in the early going: Elik Vodovoz.

If you don't recognize the name, that's because Vodovoz really only has one big cash to his credit but it was a very large one. The Chicago-area native took down WSOPC Hammond Main Event here just a few months back for just under $295,000. His previous biggest cash was around $13,000.

The retired dentist, who typically grinds much smaller buy-ins, won a satellite into the Circuit Main and got through a field of 1,050 to bink his ring win. He'll now try to bring home an HPT title to go with his Circuit ring.
