Ausmus Off to a Great Start
Jeremy Ausmus has been peacefully grinding here on Day 1 of the Southern Comfort 100 Proof National Championship. In fact, the fifth-place finisher in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event has been so peaceful, that we didn't spot him until moments ago. Ausmus has been doing a bit of work already today, and is sitting with roughly three times the starting stack.
After earning $2,155,313 in the big one, Ausmus went on a few more deep runs. He took down a side event at the WPT Five Diamond, earning $78,572, finished fifth in the first event of the WSOP APAC, banking $56,865, then won a Deep Stack Extravaganza event at the Venetian, taking home $121,853.
Ausmus is looking for yet another big score here in NOLA, and is also eyeing what would be his first career WSOP bracelet.
