So, I get to my table in the Brasilia Room and am seated next to James McManus, author of Positively Fifth Street and a very bright individual. Several players are seated at the table and speaking among each other. Great- some of them know eachother- that means they are professional players. As it turns out, one of them, a late arrival is from Europe and has played with Peter Eastgate so much that last year, 2008, when he won the Main Event, he offered this guy a swap of 10% of each other. He didn't play in the event and missed out on a $910K pay day.
Another guy at the table was talking to the other guys and was busy accumulataing chips. Turns out he got 6th place at a WPT event in Aruba. His name is Frank Ruskin I think. He played against Jonathan Little at that final table. Jonathan got moved to our table a couple of hours into the tournament.
We played 9 handed for about one and a half hours as seat one remained open for that whole amount of time until its occupant arrived: Victor Ramdin. (Mr. Aggression himself)
After trying a three barrel bluff at seat 7, a lower ranked pro, and getting called down by third or fourth pair by him, I decided to wait and be patient. So, I played my cards for a while. *After re-reading this, I am compelled to update the the lower ranked pro in Seat 7 here won a bracelet in 2010.
There were no less than 5 pros at the same time at my table.
