| Sherwin "The Fox" Agard (Randolp, MA) |
He ended it one hand short though, after a player raised in middle position and a short stack shoved from the button, Sherwin was contemplating a call from the blinds and eventually decided to fold.
He shouldn't have, as he claimed he would have won the hand after getting "all of" the flop.
We're not sure if he's telling the truth or not about the hand, but in terms of Foxwoods Poker history, Sherwin might just be the "truth", as he is one of the most successful Foxwoods tournament grinders of all time, hence his nickname.
In fact, he's in a tie for 5th place on the all-time Foxwoods cashes list, as 43 of his 53 rated cashes have come at Foxwoods, including nearly all of his top scores and his two major tournament titles.
The last of those two outright wins came at the end of last year, when Sherwin won a Mega Stack Challenge bounty event for just over $6,000.
But, the tournament grinder has close to a half dozen five figure scores to his name, with his biggest cash coming in a 2009 World Poker Finals event, where he made $23,000.
To have $230,000 in live tournament winnings with his biggest individual score being for just under 10% of that means one thing, Sherwin knows how to make the money and how to put himself in a position to make deep runs, something he's consistently done at Foxwoods over the last few years.
He'll look to break his tie for 5th on the Foxwoods all-time cashes list and record his first Card Player Poker Tour result here in Event 5 as the tournament field is just under 45 minutes from the dinner break.
