Old guy greeting Lisandro after his WSOP victory is..?
 

So right after Lisandro wins the stud event, he's congratulated by this old guy with glasses. Does anyone know his full name? He's a regular player at the Venetian and I believe his first name is either Eric or Mike and the guy is an absolute riot.

Didn't realize he knows some pros, so I'm curious to see if he has any tourney results.

The guy you speak of is MIKE DORF.

He can be very unpleasant at the tables. In fact, I think he is 86'd from the Venetian.

Hahaha, thanks man. Yeah, I guess he could get annoying but he was always in good spirits when I was there. If that's true, that's pretty amusing they'd 86 such an old man haha.

The guy is Michael Hirschensohn

He represents Lisandro and Sammy Farha and a couple of others I think. He's usually sweating Sammy in big games and he plays some 5/10 and 10/20 NL.

What does 86 mean, like banned or something?

86'd means banned

and maybe he also goes by Hirschensohn, But I know he goes by Dorf. I wouldnt put it past him to go by two names.

86 is also restaurant lingo for "we don't have a certain ingredient or entree". ie, the chef tells the wait staff to 86 the filet of sole.

Yeah, he was at my 2/5 game once and 5/10... The 2/5 game was the biggest going at the time. So how did you know this?
