Default Shahram (Shawn) Sheikhan

this guy has cashed $1,041,783 since 2001. He has shown on HSP that he is not a dominating cash game player.

my question is.... is he a legit pro, or does he have an alternate source of income?

He owns several businesses around the Las Vegas area. And remember, 600,000 of that cash out was for his 2005 WSOP finish.

In an interview, he said he loves to gamble but his favourite game is not hold'em, it's stud. He also got 2nd place in the stud WSOP event.

Prior to the 2006 WSOP, Sheikhan was a regular at Caesars Palace playing 400-800 triple draw & badugi.

I watched him on HSP and it was blatantly obvious he is a total weak tight nit.
