No, def not that guy - Next you're going to tell me PokerStars has some sort of astronomy theme going on.

If you need me I'll be playing on tables Ganymede, Phobos and Polaris.

He flew out of the sky and landed at Stars headquarters, so they named stuff after him.

They all wore sweet matching Nike's IIRC. Now that's a sign of a good religion. I feel lame that I've actually played in this freeroll a few times lolz.
