Alex Greenblatt came back on Day 2 with the chip lead in Event #9 with just three players remaining and sealed the deal in 45 minutes. The latest World Series of Poker Circuit champion topped a field of 183 entries to win $23,678 and his first ring.
“It feels great,” smiled Greenblatt. The poker pro from Santa Clara is a familiar face on the Circuit and has amassed just shy of $1.5 million in live tournament earnings. This is his 40th career WSOP cash and sixth final table.
In discussing the game of poker, Greenblatt focuses on playing on his schedule. “Just trying to play when you wanna play and not forcing it, you know. Really have the desire, not just playing because you feel like you need to.”
What’s next for Greenblatt may end up being outside of the poker world for the foreseeable future. “I’m actually trying to get out of poker. I’m gonna try to go back to school. MBA is my plan right now. I just don’t wanna be downswinging when I’m like 45 and have no options,” smiled Greenblatt.
