Gary Kainer is a man of simple pleasures. He loves to hunt; he loves to fish; and he loves to play poker. Specifically, he loves to play tournaments. It's the laws of attrition that make them perfect for him. Man versus animal; man versus fish; poker player versus poker player.
Kainer owned a fishing lure manufacturing business in his native Houston, Texas before he attended the World Series of Poker this year. "I went to the Series and then I just stayed." For six weeks, the man lived and breathed poker. He only cashed in one event, finishing 74th and winning $2002. When it was all said and done, he was in love with the game and the lifestyle. He decided to make it his living.
Now it's all paying off. Kainer finished in the money in at WPT's Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic and now he has made his first World Poker Tour televised final table and can make it the most successful hunt of a lifetime. He's a regular guy playing on one of the biggest poker stages in the world. He's ready to take down the big names at the table and you know he's going to love it.
