John Kalmar Seeking Another Final Table

[user67765]

John Kalmar is a name that would sound familiar to most poker fans out there but perhaps you can't quite place where you've heard it. Well if you think back to last year's WSOP Main Event and the final table then you'd be able to picture a entertaining British guy mixing it up with Lee Watkinson, Tuan Lam and Jerry Yang for the ultimate prize in poker.

Last year Kalmar actually didn't want to play the Main Event, and planned to leave early to go back to England, but managed to win a seat in the last mega-satellite to gain his Main Event seat and went on to finish fifth for over $1.25 million.

Since last year's result, John has had only a few small WPT cashes but is back again this year to try for back-to-back final tables and the chance to go a few places better. John will be a player to watch throughout today's play.
