Lack of known pros left in the WPT championship
 

In a tournament that is highly respected and played up as one of the tournaments pros are supposed to excell in, I am surprised at the lack of name pros on the leaderboard at this point.


James Van Alstyne - $4,235,000
Roland De Wolfe - $3,325,000
Carlos Zambrano - $2,985,000
Victor Ramdin - $2,685,000
Joseph Bartholdi - $2,350,000
Paul Wasicka - $2,245,000
Erica Schoenberg - $1,735,000
Simon Moussa - $1,695,000
Vanessa Rousso - $1,575,000
Cliff Josephy - $1,255,000
David Matthew- $1,200,000
Espen Saltnes - $1,130,000
Claus Nielson - $940,000
Gary Maresh - $905,000
Valentino Morella - $525,000
Chad Brown - $485,000
Patrik Antonius - $450,000
Men The Master Nguyen - $375,000
Surinder Sunar - $120,000

I've heard of James Van Alstyne, Victor Ramdin, Chad Brown, Patrik Antonius, Men The Master Nguyen, and Surinder Sunar, and some of those names, only in passing.

Re: Lack of known pros left in the WPT championship
 

Well, the top notch pros all bombed out yesterday so we are left with the donks.

Re: Lack of known pros left in the WPT championship
 

Yup, Doyle, Deeb, Hellmuth, Chan, Baxter, Hoff busted out yesterday.

I have no clue who these people are, except for Antonius and Sunar.

The "pros" were donks before they got lucky. When one of these donks win, they will be on magazine covers, write books and articles, do interviews. This "donk" will become a "pro" before you know it. In six months time, you will have forgotten that he is really a donk. All it takes is one TV appearance.

Men the Master is also arguably the most comprehensively discredited of all the well-known players in the game today.

He survived the alleged "tournament chips found in the hotel suite" incident, only because the game had so little media exposure at the time that it occured.

I have no doubt that if such an incident were to occur today, the player involved would be banned for life from all tournament play.
