Re: Anyone have a good experience meeting a pro at the WSOP?
This year, I met:
Steven Paul Ambrose - nice kid, seemed embarassed to be signing autographs. I tried to line up an interview with him.
Taylor Caby - also a nice guy; did an interview with him, very level headed.
Brian Townsend - did an interview with him; he was nice but seemed a little cockier than Caby. And he wouldn't tell me his bankroll...
Chad Brown - did an interview with him at one of the breaks of the main event, very nice as well.
Daniel Negreanu - shook his hand and told him thanks for doing an interview with us a couple years ago...he said "no problem" and rushed off after busting in the charity event.
Bryan Devonshire - was very cool and did a great interview; unfortunately it was a phone deal since he was out of town.
Annie Duke - just told her thanks for doing the interview a couple years ago...she too said "no problem".
Elky - his english isn't great so I didn't get much out of it...and neither did he.
In the past I talked to Barry G in Bobby's room, I was asking him how the book sales were going and he gave me some details on the book etc...I asked him what he thought of Joe Sebok playing poker...he wished that Joe would do something productive with his life.
Johnny World Hennigan - didn't want to do an interview and got out of the pics I took in bobby's room...didn't seem like a bad guy though.
Chris Moneymaker - played some 1/2 NLHE at the palms in 2006 and he let me take a pic, he was nice to everyone at the table but kept trying to get the limit raised to 5/10 NL.
Paul Phillips - before he quit playing, thanked him for doing an interview and we talked for a bit, he was pretty cool and was a little buzzed on coronas.
