Lee Marcault

I played with him at Bellagio a few months ago, and I met up with him again at the PS Carribean. I haven't played much with him but I get the impression he is a strong player, very nice guy too. I think he said he's been playing poker professionally for 15 or 20 years now, and for the last year he's been following the WPT events around the US. I might have mispelt his name in the title of this post. Anyone know him?

[Kurwood Derby]

I don't know him but I think its Markholt.

[Mike Gallo]

I knew him back in the days when we rodeod together /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[theBruiser500]

What do you mean?

[Tyler Durden]

I think Mike is referring to the fact that Markholt used to be a professional rodeo guy. I think Markholt was, anyway. Rodeoer? What's the word for that?

[ClaytonN]

Yeah, it's Markholt

I saw him in the "Poker Royale" thing on GSN

[Mike Gallo]

As a young man he travelled the rodeo circuit. He retired at the ripe age of 27 and became a poker player.

Are you guys joking, did he really do that? Are we talking about the same person?

They mentioned it on Poker Royale.
