They are under 250 players remaining. At a glance, I see Isabelle Mercier, Barry Greenstein, William Chen, and KrazyKanuk to name a few.

Hmmm.... I wonder who "WSOPchamp80" is. I'm thinking it's NOT Stu Unger.

drewjax · #4 09-19-05, 12:35 AM

Do they play under their real name? I dont see them. Who is krazykanuck?

Talking Poker · #5 09-19-05, 12:50 AM

I'm not sure what his real name is... He's a well known online pro. The others are: NoMercy, crazyplayer, and wchen respectively.

FYI:

For bdawg (especially), Geoff and Lou:

That ActionJeff tard who was the shortstack in bdawg's event and wouldn't deal until everyone kicked him more money is still alive.

Currently 8th out of 127 players left.

He's this really psycho Canadian guy.

Actually he works for UB not sure what his real name is. Some sort of professional.

Talking Poker · #8 09-19-05, 12:57 AM

That's right. He does work for UB.... I think I knew that.

Good guess TP!!

BrianSwa · #11 09-19-05, 01:18 AM

cant wait to see the deals made at this final table.

Talking Poker · #12 09-19-05, 04:22 AM

Well, holy shit....

This "wraptduck" guy just went from 70k to over 1 million chips (he's currently second). And.......... according to the announcers (And confirmed by his chat), he is Tony G.

You know, this guy:

And now that just said Mark Seif is still in it. He also gave permission to reveal his screen name, but I missed it. I'll pay attention and update my list when they say it again.

nutbag · #15 09-19-05, 04:38 AM

Yeah, it's a pretty great group for an online tourney commentary, god bless unemployment

drewjax · #16 09-19-05, 04:47 AM

This is good chit..

junYUN · #17 09-19-05, 09:49 PM

lol

could that have just been on purpose for table image?

there was word around that he was a fairly good online player

Talking Poker · #18 09-19-05, 11:30 PM

Don't get me wrong.... I'm sure he is.

I still think he'll be broke though, if for no other reason than he thinks it can't happen to him. Those are the guys who bust our first.

JDMcNugent7 · #19 09-19-05, 11:42 PM

agreed.
