Comments
If you look at the official WSOP POY standings, he is now in first place. Very impressive.

The fact that he's got 5 cashes in different games and tournament formats is also impressive. From PLO, to 7-stud, to NL & PL Hold 'em, he's obviously proving that he's got a great all-around game.
It'll be interesting to see if he participates in the HORSE tourney and how he finishes.
Nick, I hope you're planning on getting an interview with him, when all is said and done.

Heck, yes. Although I know zero about the guy. You know where he plays, or anything?
I'd like to do short profiles on a couple of such players, give the public a chance to know who we have out here.
Other nominees?
