Woelfel has earned over $111,000 in net profit on Full Tilt so far this year, and he also has three major live tournament cashes in 2010 for nearly $60,000.

* Amit Makhija, a U of M graduate who currently lives in Los Angeles, nearly won the Full Tilt $1K Monday last week, finishing fifth in a field of 331 for $23,170.
