he was a November Niner last year. Came in 8th

Jerry Wong, Jerry Yang, Jerry Wang, Jerry Yong!

Thousands of them!

Lol. Reminds me of Zulu

Dont forget about Yong Wang, he's currently playing in the 10K limit 2-7 Lowball....

Is HORSE ft streaming tonight?

Should go live in about 25 minutes.

Finally started

This is awkward

C'mon anyone but ReNegs, but preferably Mercier.

The commentary good tonight. Tuchman, Chad, and Grapes.

Mercier hoping to go back-to-back in this one.

Other than holdem I like to watch Stud. the other games... eh

As I recall, people used to say the same about Patrik Antonius early in his career, that he was a former tennis pro. (Note: actor Matthew Perry used to get similar.) And while yes, I'm sure PA was a fine junior player, that's a long, long way away from rightfully earning the description of a pro tennis player.

The ATP website shows Dias for $243 in prize money, all from a smattering of tourneys back when he was still in his teens. Good player to even qualify for those events, sure, but a far cry from being called a pro.

It almost makes sense, however, as we see the opposite happen when it comes to someone having won in poker. Remember that at least one article referred to David Dao, the Kentucky doctor better known for being a piece of United carry-off luggage, as a "professional poker player." All because he had a sizable list of cashes on Hendon Mob.

Isn't a 'pro' someone who was paid to do something? If not, what is the definition? Plus who really cares?

WHO THE **** CARES ABOUT THE DEFINITION OF A TENNIS PRO

Jesus christ.

He was given a wild card to the qualifying draw of a Brazilian tournament. Tournament's have compete control over who gets a WC so in theory they could give to anyone, no qualification for one necessary. They usually chose players back from injury who no longer have a ranking or a young up and comer, which Dias was at the time. So he was a good enough to garner consideration for a WC and he did win take a few games from the #571 ranked player in the match, so he had some ability but obviously that's to nearly enough to be classified as a pro. But he has more claim to it than Antonius. I can't ever find PA listed on any pro tennis database.

It would be like calling a pretty good level college basketball player who gets 1 workout with a European team but not a roster spot, a "basketball pro".

Mercier going to win this.

So are all you guys who have been begging for mixed games on the edge of your seats?

Edge of their beds, asleep.

Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.

Really enjoyed the HORSE table once it got down to 4 players. Pretty meh prior to that. Norman Chad is much better in the limit setting (unsurprising). I really enjoyed his commentary along with Grapes and Tuchman.

Good for David on getting that 2nd bracelet this year while he getting smashed in the face with the deck with Eric having a few tilty hands.

Obst gonna win POY, 3 bracelets and FT the main this year, I'm calling it

Obst definitely has a good chance of scooping poy, interesting to see how many points the ME is worth, could be some interesting sweats at the end (even though WSOPE counts :/ )

Does Obst play much online outside of COOP, anyone know his stars name?

Andy McLEOD. Only seems to play to big series but he does very well in them.

He used to destroy Stars MTTs back in the peak of the 100r's and 200r's, as an underage player.
