It's funny how everyone says they feed off the "whales" that come to play with them. I usually take 2 trips to vegas a year for 2-3 weeks each trip usually in conjuction with the 5 diamond and the wpt championship. I'm yet to see someone playing in the game that hasn't been recognizable. Although some of the players I'd have to suspect as being the "whales" in that game would be Gus Hanson, Jonny Chan, possibly Minh Ly (not sure on what his deal is but saw him playing a lot of shorthanded against Chip, Doyle, Phil, Barry G), Sam Farha, and Lyle Berman. I've never seen David Oppenheim playing in the "big game" as someone listed, I believe I've seen him usually playing between 400-800 and 1k-2k. Of the 5 players I've listed I'm sure 4 of them are good contributors to the game and I'm sure there are a few more well knowns that are loser in that game.
