Long live Ellix Powers. Probably the only legitimate homeless person to ever make a poker TV final table, and to top it off it was at the height of the poker boom. Definitely a treat to watch! We need more bums on TV!

agree - I remember a poker buddy of mine and I watching and he called him "high clan master McManus" - obviously a bit over the top and OOL, but point being, he did not come out of this well lol
