New Chip Leader: Justin Henry

Aug 26, 2011

While half the field is enyoing the final minutes of their dinner break, Justin Henry has been busy racking up the biggest pile of chips in the room.  Henry is currently sitting on 145,000 chips.

If the name sounds familiar, you may recognize Henry from his work as a child actor.  Henry is the youngest person to ever be nominated for an Academy Awar for his portrayal of the son of Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep in Kramer vs. Kramer.  If you are a fan of 80’s movies, Henry also appeared as Molly Ringwald’s little brother in the John Hughes flick "Sixteen Candles."

More recently, Henry has appeared on television shows like "ER" and "Brothers and Sisters."  Henry also has a series of poker tournament cashes to his credit dating back to 2005.  His largest and most notable cash was a 235th place finish in the 2009 WSOP Main Event.
