National Heads Up Poker Championship

Does anyone have any background on Yosh Nakano, Henry Orenstein or Dennis Wagner? These are the only 3 players in the bracket I am not at all familiar with.

Thanks,


His name is Dennis Wager not Dennis Wagner. He has been playing poker for about a year, has never won in his life, and regularly loses about 5,000/night playing 30-60. The only time he has ever won in anything in poker, is playing me heads up, and he has beaten me twice.

He is a very nice guy, with a TON OF MONEY but is one of the worst players to ever play the game. I already heard from a mutual friend yesterday that he was playing Sammy Farha heads up yesterday and by the time my friend got to the hotel, (he was a guest of Dennis') he was already re-buying for another 50,000.


Very strange that he was invited, the way Dennis always told this story, is that this tournament was going to be "half whales, half pro's." And hes the only true unknown whale in the whole tournament. Be interesting if NBC uses this angle as a "dead money/cinderella story."
