Flight 1H ($75,000 GTD): Faces In The Crowd (Part II)

$130 No Limit Hold'em ($75,000 GTD)
Level 4 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Flight 1H Entries: 105
Total Entries: 855

Vendel Johnson (Pembroke Pines, FL) is in attendance for a good portion of the daily tournament schedule here at the Isle, so it was just a matter of time before he made his first appearance in this event.  Johnson has (12) recorded cashes on his resume, and with the volume put in  during tournaments that aren't submitted to Hendon Mob, it wouldn't be surprising is he's cashed in close to 20-25 events this year to date.

James Hamburger's (Hollywood, FL) resume on Hendon Mob shows career tournament earnings of $43,000, with his largest score coming in at $8,331.  Someone who was looking him up would probably stop there, and assume he's basically just a "recreational grinder."  That assumption would be way off though, as Hamburger likely has more tournament earnings than anyone else in the field...it just came online.  James has over $2,000,000 in online earnings, coming before Black Friday...a day that would change his life for the foreseeable future.  Hamburger is still looking for his first five-figure score, which could come tomorrow if he was to reach the final table.
