Kyle Cartwright, a 23-year old player from Bartless, Tennessee, is no stranger to the World Series of Poker Circuit. Back in February, Cartwright played his first live tournaments at Harrah's Tunica and took home rings in just his third and fourth tournaments. Those events were Event #20 $345 NLHE and Event #44 $345 NLHE totaling $56,789 in winnings, and also earned him the title of "Casino Champion" while simultaneously qualifying him for the National Championship in May.
Cartwright, who says his favorite player is Kenny Tran, enters the final table as the massive chip leader with more than double his nearest opponent.
