Pretty amazing how Ben Lamb has been in the top 10 chip counts at the start of days 2,3,4,6,7, and not far off on day 5. Unbelievable consistency. I think he's an almost certain for the november nine, but we've often see the best players get screwed over on the final table. Here's to hoping he takes it down!

is that J P Kellly who plays plo on stars?
is Chinaski the guy who used to play on crypto and what is his real name?


Thanks much.....

So the Minh Nguyen is not Men the master. The "other" one always seemed like a pretty nice guy to me. An Alabama guy leading roll tide I guess

This.

Devo, Lamb, Brokos, Sands, Kelly, Collins, Lindgren, Moutinho, & Robinson for the November 9.

Moutinho (being a women AND the gf of a fellow November 9'er would be so beneficial in gaining more excitement about poker among women),

Lindgren (b/c it seems you need at least one "name" pro at the November 9 for it to draw in max viewers)

Collins (how awesome would it be if people on twitter and FB started saying "you hear Phil Collins plays poker and just made WSOP ME final table?" even if it's not the truth, as it'd draw in people who would've never had interest in poker before)

Brokos, Lamb, Devo, Sands, Kelly & Robinson (would be nice to see a ME final table that had >50% of the players being "internet", young players.)

Devo Vs. Lamb heads-up (way things have been going, Lamb taking it all down, but would love to see Devo shiiiiiip it)

Rooting for Lindgren, Lamb and the two Brits googogogogo

Im gonna put the name Chris Moore out there, I think the guy has Skillz and is well able to take this down
