When I first moved to Vegas a couple years back I was surprised to see Paul in the Horseshoe's 2:00PM $110 buy-in tourney. This was right after his WPT appearance. I did not know much about the tournament poker scene in Vegas at the time but was still kind of surprised to see him play at what is pretty much a tournament for tourists and low limit locals.

I was even more surprised last night when I saw him as Isabelle Mercier's so-called coach. I can't imagine with the access she has to so many professionals that she would have him as a coach. But, maybe he is better at explaining theory than in applying it to his own game.
