Re: Lack of known pros left in the WPT championship
There is a difference between an "accomplished" pro and a "known" pro. Most of the people on that list have been to a TV final table once. The only "known" pros left (Q rating wise) are Men and maybe Chad Brown.

Why? 28 years old. Bleach blond. Babyface. -- Vanessa Rousso has also appeared on TV before, having been invited to play in on Episode 1 of "Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker". She too has already hired an agent and is looking for an endorsement contract (look for the likes of Bodog to pick her up if she were to make the WPT Final Table.) -- The online poker rooms are on the prowl for a photogenic female to replace Evelyn Ng, who hasn't done anything in a while after finishing 2nd at WPT Ladies Night 1. PokerStars dropped Ng about a month ago. Ng has been picked up by Bodog.

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. [/ QUOTE ] Just because they aren't FSN Who*es doesn't mean they aren't "known". Everyone who is a "known pro" sure as hell knows those names, and anyone who has followed poker for more than a year should as well. I'm curious about your use of the word "lack". I don't know about you, but it makes me very happy to hear that the love is being spread around a bit, rather than always floating up to those top .1% aholes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
