Andrew Rennhack Wins World Series of Poker $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Event

Card Player’s 2014 WSOP coverage is sponsored by CarbonPoker.

The latest $1,500 no-limit hold’em event at the 2014 World Series of Poker went to Andrew Rennhack, an ATM operator from Seattle, Washington. Rennhack defeated a field of 1,594 players, picking up his first gold bracelet and the first place prize of $408,953.

The majority of the rest of the $2,151,900 prize pool went to a formidable final table that included notable pros such as Dan Smith (9th), Heinz Kamutzki (6th), Ryan Welch (4th), Tony Gargano (3rd) and Michael Katz (2nd).

Rennhack, who won the Carnivale of Poker Player of the Series award at the Rio last year with six cashes, stepped his game up for the 2014 series.

“Winning the Carnivale best-all around was nice, but that wasn’t my goal when I came out here last year,” Rennhack said. “I came out here to win the gold bracelet. I had to wait an extra year, but I guess it was all worth it.”

Other notable players with deep runs in this event included Will Failla (11th), Anthony Spinella (13th), Nick Schulman (14th) and Darren Elias (18th).

Here is a look at the final table results.
