His black t-shirt said "#WINNING" and that's exactly what Greg Himmelbrand did in the 2015 Mid-States Poker Tour Maryland Live! Casino Main Event, claiming a $72,910 first-place prize after a tough heads-up battle with fellow East Coast grinder Justin Liberto.
Himmelbrand, who started the day as the chip leader, expertly preserved his big stack, never finding himself in significant danger on Day 2. He added to a lucrative tournament résumé that features over $870,000 in cashes.
Himmelbrand's victory march was very much in question when three-handed play hit, when MSPT Team Pro Blake Bohn, Liberto, and Himmelbrand, easily the three most accomplished and experienced players, remained.
