Jamie Wiegrefe (Miami, FL) is commonly known in the poker community as "Thor," not only because of the look, but also the hammer that he uses as a card protector.  Jamie returned from break with 140,000, but since increased that number to over 300,000.  Wiegrefe currently leads the field, and is almost 75,000 clear of his nearest competitor (Anthony Abda - 226,000).

Wiegrefe is coming off a successful Battles At The Beach series, where he cashed in two events, including Event #10 ($560 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante).  Jamie reached the final table of that tournament, finishing in fourth place, and earning himself $4,024.  Thor's career earnings are just north of $46,000, with his career highlighting score coming last year, during the Isle Poker Room's $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD) last November.
