Rex Clinkscales is a World Series of Poker Circuit grinder who has made a few big scores over the last couple of years, including a 1st place performance in the 2012-13 WSOP Circuit Harrah's Philadelphia Main Event.
Midway through 2014, Clinkscales is off to a torrid start, as he has taken home three trophies in as many months.
First, Clinkscales took down the 2014 Wynn Classic's $550 No-Limit Hold'em title in February to add $39,661 to his roll. Then in April he won a $300 NLHE event at the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza II series for a $9,073 payday.
Finally, Clinkscales won the Colorado Poker Championship in May for another big score, giving him a bit of momentum heading into the WSOP.
