Lee - One cash for $5600 (I have more career earnings than he did )

.... Apparently, Mr. Lee already was well-known to law enforcement folks.

I see...I hope I was clear that I meant someone with a Hendon Mob entry as of today. Though having a database entry as of the start of the Main Event would probably be a better criteria.

Basic criteria to be regarded as a 'known player' should be that you either have won a major event, final tabled several, or are a notable regular in high stakes games.

Ya...he said something along the lines of "is this guy serious?" and looked around at the rest of the table...it was pretty funny. I don't think he's a bad guy, and I'm not trying to hijack the thread, just illustrating that the term "unknown" is very subjective when a poker fan and media person like myself doesn't know who a supposed "somebody" is.

This is him by the way...

no, that isn't what i meant. sartre wouldn't concern himself with such a silly technicality. anyway, my post was rhetorical and wasn't supposed to be commented on.
