is this the dude that played john gale heads up at the pokerstars carribean event??

[Yoda 1]

I can't look through all of that I'm too lazy but, Jeff Lisandro..

[nickforgot 0]

i counted 11 i think

[dEv~ 19]

the OP's original list plus Jeff Cabanillas (beat Hellmuth heads up this year), Jeff Liasandro, David Chui, and Ted Lawson.

[Oneeydjaq 0]

I got 11 too

[NicksDad1970 0]

14Ted Lawson was the one at the FT in an 2004 Omaha WSOp event. I'm PRETTY sure he knocked out Lederer. DN was also at that FT, with Watkinson and Deeb.I would also guess the majority of us know who David Chiu is....He's got like 4 bracelets and was at the FT in 04' with Ellix Powers. Kind of a happy go lucky fella. I'm pretty sure I've seen him at a WPT FT as well.He was the one that called a big bet thinking he had a str8 when he only had 4 to a str8.I think I know about 14 of em. I'm assuming Jason Strasses is really Jason Strasser.

Phi Nguyen, Tuan Nguyen, Jeff Lisandro, DN, Alex Balandin, Brenes, Ted Lawson, John Gale, there are a few others as well that I don't remember.

Several.

These guys...

Are you sure you're not confusing Sean Le with Tuan Le?

[No_Neck 0]

Sean Le $215,500 39 1Dan Heimiller $203,300 56 5 who are those two?

[squirrel barefoot 0]

Several.

DN, Alan and Ted Forrest. Not too many, but have time to learn the list by heart now

[Zilla 0]

Akshay Kumar $249,600 38 6

He's a true character...Dr. Willoughby: Do you actually believe that after the way you've just behaved that I would even consider recommending you for admission? Kumar: No. I'm gonna be honest with you. The only reason I'm applying is so my dad will keep paying for my apartment. I really don't have a desire to go to med school. Dr. Willoughby: But you have perfect MCAT scores! Kumar: Yeeeah, just cause you're hung like a moose doesn't mean you gotta do porn.

Sean Le $215,500 39 1Dan Heimiller $203,300 56 5 who are those two?

I saw Dan H most recently on the PPT when everyone was giving him loads of crap for calling the clock on someone very fast.

Sean Le $215,500 39 1Dan Heimiller $203,300 56 5 who are those two?

Sorry confused Sean Le with someone else ( I used to work with a guy named Sean Le). Heimiller is a long time pro that has gone deep in a lot of tourneys but hasn't really won anything. He is on the PPT, and I think he made a final table in stud or stud hi/lo this year. I am too lazy to look it up.

[nickforgot 0]

I dunno, a couple I guess.

nice

Pretty sure he has a WSOP bracelet.17-May-02 $ 2,000 1/2 Hold'em - 1/2 7 Card Stud33rd World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2002, Las Vegas 1st for 100k+

[chrozzo 19]

You're telling me Olga Varkyoni isnt in the top 10!!! NOOOOO

[socalpoker_j 1]

Parmjit Gil... excellent cash game player, and a pretty good tournament player as well, he used to play regularly on L@TB and I think he can go far in this tournament.

Eric Lynch most people here should know. He plays online as "Rizen" and has won the Stars Million (maybe even twice?) and has a good looking pokerdb stat sheet.

"Ok be honest here are the top 159 - how many had you heard of two weeks ago?"for me its only DN Alan Cunningham (i guess) Brenes and ForrestDmitri Nobles $549,200 46 6 Yuriy Kozinskiy $443,300 137 4 Jon Lane $405,400 135 1 Ken Jacobs $375,300 149 5 Daniel Pelletier $334,300 34 7 Daniel Negreanu $331,000 11 9 Jason Strasser $319,000 38 4 Terris Preston $313,300 56 4 Jon is a friend of mine who is very well known on the internet from the past few years, although now he has moved to Vegas and plays much more live. If you look last year, he was also near chip leader at the same stage after knocking out Chip Reese, and ended up cashing for around 100K. You might remember, he was on the featured table with Matusow where he tried to bluff with 5-3d after missing a flush...they showed one of his few mis steps, which is pretty funny considering he got up to nearly a million chips last year pretty easily.Jason is also well known on the internet, and it's no surprise to see him up there either. These people might not be "known players", buy many of them are extremely good and have huge results from the internet. These two in particular are in the 21-23 range, so of course you wouldn't know them. But keep an eye on them, I hope Daniel doesn't get on a table with Jon, cause then I'd have a major conflict of interest . Jon is on a table with Allen Cunningham though for day 3, so I expect that to be interesting,
