I am rooting for Lee Watkinson. I respect players who handle themselves well at the tables, and I think he exemplifies that. Tight/aggressive, solid, consistent............those are qualities I admire and hope to emulate.

Scotty Nguyen at the FT would be great to see as well.

I think it's pretty impressive that 1/6 of the remaining field are former bracelet winners.
