Who's Grinding A Small Profit?

Clark Hamagami - looking for his sixth cash for the series
Clark Hamagami - looking for his sixth cash for the series
With players starting with only 4,500 in chips, its hard to get some momentum early.

The key however is slowly grinding away, taking a pot down here and there; and so far the following players have built their stacks to a somewhat solid position.

Jeff Madsen - 5,800
Mark Seif - 5,600
Jonathan Little - 5,400
Hevad Khan - 5,200

They may have arrived late, but Clark Hamagami (8,400), Phil Hellmuth (7,800) and Alexander Kostritsyn (7,700) have all near doubled as we tick into the eightieth minute of play.
