Who is this amazing pro on the tourney circuit??
 

I keep seeing this guy constantly showing up on many leaderboard chip counts in many major tourneys, yet haven't seen him on TV. Don't know if he is young or old, or is mainly an internet whiz. I guessing he is from Europe. Goes by the name of Average. Anyone know who this guy is. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Swiggy - what, or who, is that in your avatar?

The love child of David Gilmour and Paul Rudd.

No - It's just young Gilmour. Before he owned like 25 Enzo Ferrari's and F-50's.

Did you guys see that Average just climbed again at the Bellagio tourney! Damn this guy is good.

meh, he's okay, not great, but pretty good at hanging around. Lots of second place finishes, though.

never seems to claim his prize though

Re: Who is this amazing pro on the tourney circuit??
 

When you think about it, he's always first place. And of course he doesn't claim his prize, he's not in it for the money, or even the prestige. It's all about the love of the game.

Thought it looked like him. I played guitar in a Pink Floyd cover band until a couple of months ago.

According to cardplayer's chip counts, AVERAGE did not make the final 39 at the DBAPC. Maybe he felt he had to make a move instead of stagnating in the middle of the pack.
