Doing great in the Main Event too! He was a really fun co-host to Tuchman on some of the WSOP live streams, and I'll be cheering for him.

I don't get what his sexuality has to do with poker? Other than as an attempt to attract more sponsorship money in the future.

could it not inspire/give confidence to other gay poker players who are afraid to come out to friends in the poker world?

Yes, but once it's done 7 months ago for how long is that appropriate to go on and on about his issue before it turns into a more negative than positive when you base on your media status solely around this one specific thing?

Vanessa Selbst has done it the right way imho.

LOL at saying Somerville is riding this for media attention. So obvious he's just excited about being able to be honest and open with the people in his life.

Get real. He has about $2.5m in live tournament winnings and a WSOP bracelet. His media status is mostly based on his ability to play really really good poker. He was well known long before he came out.

I was kinda hoping this was going to be about Jordan Carver before I clicked on it.

Seems like a really down to Earth guy, I've tweeted at him a few times and he's answered each time. Hope he ships the main event, now that'd make a hell of a story.
