Funny WPT Championship Update

22 Apr, 2008 WPT

Was checking out the Cardplayer.com live updates and came accross this funny little blurb:

A hilarious moment developed later in the day when one of the few unknown players in the field took a seat at Table 12 and found himself facing a pretty tough lineup. Victor Ramdin, seated next to him, made the introductions, and named everyone at the table along with some of their poker accomplishments.

Seat 1 - Joe Awada
Seat 2 - Victor Ramdin
Seat 3 - New Guy
Seat 4 - Isabelle Mercier
Seat 5 - Chau Giang
Seat 6 - Kristy Gazes
Seat 7 - Bruno Fitoussi
Seat 8 - Nick Schulman
Seat 9 - Unknown player
Seat 10 - Grant Lang

The player looked at the table in a shocked state of awe, and then quickly realized the bad beat he was dealt on the redraw.

Here are the top 10 players at the end of Day 2 of the WPT Championship at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada:
