Where are they now? - Poker News - News, Views and Gossip

Was wondering if we could get a Q&A thread going on the subject of "where are they now?"

Here are the few names I thought of off the top of my head.

Gigabet
Evelyn Ing
Cyndy Violette
Brandon (forget his last name, but I think he won an EPT in the first season?)

Here is Evelyn's home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yORwy40Yz94
vid was uploaded Nov 2010, looks like she has money and probably plays a lot live. Haven't heard much about her lately though.

Evelyn was never a winning player, at least in tournys. maybe she grinds out a profit at low limit cash (altho i doubt even that), but the majority of her income is from sponsorships.
you haven't seen her in a while because it's been a while since the WPT aired a "Women We're Gonna Pretend Are Good Poker Players" event on TV, which is the only TV table you'd ever see her at.

Cyndy Violette ran out of affirmation stones.

What's going on with "one hit wonder's" Jamie Gold and Jerry Yang? Seems like they both had an incredible week of catching cards in the WSOP and then "POOF!!!!!!!!!"

evelyn is a pro member of bodog. her ad is run every month in card player magazine toward the end of the mag. you have to look really close to see that it's an ad because they designed it to make it seem like a regular article. she gives playing tips, etc

Dude went on a huge heater 3-4 years ago and won the Party mirrion plus a WSOP event.

Sweet, more people who dropped off the planet. Let's find more!!!

Not too sure where jamie is, but jerry is trying to up his public profile now. No idea how it is working out for him.

Another one I just thought of. Remember the JOKER on poker stars. I think he had night crawler as his avatar?

or Bill Ivey?

On a related note does anyone know who daniel negreanu is talking about in his blog

Quote:

SIDEBAR: It annoys me when players who play the tour for three years and don't do anything chalk it up to "variance." Yeah, has nothing to do with the fact that you suck... you are just unlucky. It's often the young kids who may have had one or two scores, now have a backer, are bitter and miserable, and just don't want to face reality. Either get better, or get a job. A kid like Jason Mercier isn't just "luckier" than you, he works harder on his game than you do and that's why he posts consistent results.

One kid in particular I saw playing the WSOPE main event talking was about "donkaments" and variance, and whatever, and how it's all luck. Well, he was bitter because he's not very good and hadn't had a score in ages. I looked over at Phil Ivey and his eyes were darting back and forth, watching every move, and gathering as much information as possible on his opponents. What was this punk doing? On day two of the main event he had his headphones blaring, barely lifted his head, and was reading a book! If I staked someone and saw them disrespect my money like that I'd cut them off immediately.

I find it weird that there is someone that kevmath is wondering about. I thought you had all the answers?
