The best guess I can come up with on how PE instantly displayed stats is that they keep track of the tables on their servers (maybe updating the player list every couple minutes). That, or they have players at the current table that send the current player list when they send the hand history.

In other words, it's impossible for PA Hud to do the same without me setting up some sort of server that would constantly monitor the tables.

Is it possible that they were reading the player names right off the window? Is the text for the player names in a querriable control that you can read the text value of, or can you only get at it as graphics?
