Every year you noticed one or two well known Pro suddenly disappear from the

poker world or does not show up for WSOP.

This year I did not hear about

1, Joe Hachem.

2, John "Razor" Phan. (Surprisingly last record of him cashing was 2009!)

Any news on them I missed !

Did you noticed any others ?

Hachem was just sitting by Antonio one day last week. Have not heard Jordan Morgan's name lately.

ive seen all 3 of the people mentioned so far in this thread at the rio multiple times


has anyone seen brian townsend?

Haven't seen John Phan... You must not have looked in the tank

Vinnie Vinh?

Every person mentioned in this MIA thread I have seen or saw their name somewhere in tournament cash. I actually played a single table last week with Vinnie Vinh.

Here's the real question though - Where is T.J Cloutier??? Definitely MIA.

i was thinking today i havent seen cole south's name in any of the pokernews updates, nor the dang brothers, but it could be because the huge cash games running/the dangs opening their restaurant. also sami kelopuro (LarsLuzak).

Saw TJ grinding at choctaw and winstar in OK this past weekend in some $200- $400 tourneys. He said he's going to Vegas July 3rd I believe.

Is he broke or just practicing I mean he has enough for main event I'm guessing...true gambling problem...

I've heard so many rumors I don't really know whats true. I figure he doesn't have too much money otherwise he would be playing the series. I also playing a variation of craps at Choctaw a couple months back, don't know what stakes, but hopefully he doesn't gamble it all away like he has in the past.

Pam Brunson

tj has never had any money

Roland De Wolfe

Saw Hachem playing the 5K event on Thursday as well as Ivey, Hellmuth and kid Poker.

Anyone seen Johnny Chan the whole WSOP????

He and T.J would be a couple of good MIA's this year.

Also wasn't Chan and Andy Beal supposed to play the Big One???

Hmmmm....
