Rockville insurance agent Rhett Butler will get another Andy Warhol 15 minutes -- and probably quite a bit longer -- on NBC's broadcast of the World Series of Golf next month.

Butler (below), who finished fifth in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker last year (good for more than $3.2 million), was the runner-up yesterday in the inaugural tournament that combined the game of golf with poker-betting strategy.  The winner, Orange County, Calif., day trader Mark Ewing, picked up $250,000 and Butler collected $60,000.

Butler was eliminated, along with the third-place finisher, Paul Schuller, an electrician from Seattle, when chip-leader Ewing (score is kept with betting chips) went all-in on an approach shot on the par-4 16th hole.  Although Ewing was long on the approach, a chip and three-foot putt was good enough to win the hole. Butler was awarded second because he had the second highest amount of chips when the hole began. The final fivesome also included a retired railroad conductor from Colorado and poker pro Phil Ivey, who finished fourth. 

The tournament, which required a $10,000 buy-in, started with 60 players, including Severn accountant Steve Dannenmann -- the 2005 World Series of Poker runner-up ($4.25 million), who was eliminated on the the 20th hole in the first round.  The event is scheduled to air as a reality TV show on NBC, June 23-24.
