I don't think so. From what I hear, he's a poker player with a bankroll of under ten thousand dollars.

Seiously, though, I doubt it, he hates NLHE.

Oops, I searched for him on Cardplayer's chip counts and he wasn't there. Well, this is a prediction, doesn't look like he'll last through today.

Re: BUSTED BIG NAMES / Superstars thread.
 

Almost all the names are gone.
This just shows how ridiculous those betting lines were and makes sure that another unknown will most likely win this again.

Re: BUSTED BIG NAMES / Superstars thread.
 

Nam Le is alive with $44,300.

Re: BUSTED BIG NAMES / Superstars thread.
 

I think Allen Cunningham has a bunch of chips too.

Just more proof that good players are overhyped. Not only do they make bad plays as well but there is so much luck of all types in tourney poker that getting to the final table is more luck than skill for any of the individuals on it. Just look at this thread and see all the people who are supposedly "name" players who in reality just are decent but got luckboxed into winning a tourney or 2.

An interesting day 1 strategy -- this guy is obviously playing no hands except for one successful blind steal per orbit.

Re: BUSTED BIG NAMES / Superstars thread.
 

Yeah, I busted Gus Hansen so he must be overhyped. LOL.

Re: BUSTED BIG NAMES / Superstars thread.
 

If he can simply do that, it is brilliant.
