Nível 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

Tom McCormick (picture from a previous event)

The board read and the pot already contained around 4,000 when Matt Grapenthien made a raise for 800, putting Tom McCormick into a decision. After thinking about it for some time, McCormick ended up mucking his hand and Grapenthien took down the pot.

McCormick, whose nickname is The Shamrock Kid, already cashed in 73 WSOP events in his career and, as a funny fact, always wears his favorite purple jacket from the World Series of Poker Binion's Horseshoe. McCormick was first a blackjack player in the 1970's before he started to read about the WSOP and ended up quitting blackjack for poker in the 1980's.

His first cash in a WSOP event was in the $2,500 Limit Hold'em in 1992 when he finished third for $42,000. Since then, he achieved the final table of 14 other WSOP events, the latest one in Event #54: Big Blind Antes $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em for fifth place and a cash of $118,552.
