Two words:
GOD DAMN!!!
I have a different name in mind
I'm sure that there are probably a bunch of players with similar stories to JD's but damn, it's definitely inspirational. It's really a shame that we don't know anyone that sat down, talked, and played poker with a guy that writes for one of the online poker websites while they were at Atlantis. If we did, maybe that guy could get in touch with said writer/actor and see if there's any interest in a 'feel-good' article there.
(With JD's consent of course)
