Props to him and all, but man this would be an annoying guy to have at your table. Ultra slow, doesn't understand when he wins. I don't know the full extent of this since obviously it's long days with many hands (anyone who may have played with him, feel free to offer your insight), but every hand I'm seen/heard reported of him is kind of messy.
I'm all for him playing, and he'll likely get some serious TV time since he made it this far (based on last year's coverage). The problem is that this was all lighthearted last year when he slowrolled the guy, all fun and games in the crazy shenanigans of Day 1, but if he goes any further I expect some pros to be super pissed off.
Of course, I say this because I would expect to lose my patience if playing. Since I'm not playing, I couldn't give a crap and hope he makes the November 9
