Matt Hawrilenko. That's a name we hadn't heard in awhile, so imagine our surprise when we seen him at the 2015 World Series of Poker seated in Event #19: $3,000 Limit Hold'em Six-Handed. If you came to poker recently, that name may not ring a bell, but if you were a fan around 2009, then you no doubt remember "hoss_tbf."
Hawrilenko began playing at the WSOP in 2005, at least that's the year of his first documented cash. That same year, he finished fifth in Event #36 $3,000 Limit Hold'em for $67,235, his first five-figure score.
