Spadavecchia has not won a bracelet, but I think he's been at multiple final tables for the ME in the past.

He's also been knocked out.

Spadavecchia Eliminated in 60th Place ($154,194)
John Spadavecchia was eliminated from the tournament on the last hand before the break, after he moved all in preflop with As Th and was called by Tom Peterson, with Kc Jh.

The board filled out 4c Jc 2s 5c Kh , giving Peterson top two pair and the checkmark for the hand.

Spadavecchia's elimination means that just 59 players will return after the break.

But yes, he has won a bracelet.

No bracelets but Lamar "Will" Wilkinson who owns a cardroom in California has four final tables in 2-7 Single Draw (1998,2000,2004,and 2007).

Is Ken Smith the same Ken Smith that was at the final table with Stu Ungar back in '81?

Spadavecchia won a bracelet in the $5K 2-7 Draw in 1991.

ESPN has gotta be rooting for Scotty and my girl Maria so hard right now given the collection of people nobody outside intense poker circles knows about remaining. They at least want the pretty face.

Using myself as a litmus test (and Im the NVG mod) beyond Scotty, Watkinson and Alaei are the only two that really have any Q rating, and their's isn't that high.

I would also like to announce that I'm anti-sweating Rep Porter, because that is a horrible name.

Rainkhan would be a killer story/come off as either a giant douchebag or a really hilarious guy on tape depending on the editing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

He'll make this FT entertaining either way, that's for sure.

So this is the final "day"? I.E. playing through 'til the end with breaks and such?

This is his pic on pokernews:


Can't find a pic of the other Ken Smith, but here's the 1978 FT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgKbqff5azA (38 seconds in).
