Did David Sklansky win his seat at the WPT Championship?

Wouldn't mind seeing him try his hand at a couple of WSOP events though now that he seems to be more into the tourney swing-of-things again.

FWIW, DS cashed in the 2004 WSOP main event.

I think you mean 2002. The Varkonyi year.

Uh. WTF?!

Who cares about Sklansky he made 192,771 in tourneys before this WPT final

[MicroBob]

This seemed really unlikely to me as I don't recall that being mentioned at 2+2 (or on the ESPN telecasts).

Several of us were watching Raymer's progress from day 1...but I don't remember anyone mentioning Sklansky.


So...with a little work I found this (from thepokerforum.com). Sklansky isn't there...but there is "223rd Ron Faltinsky Montebello, CA $10,000" as well as
"196th Robert Skutelsky Boulder, CO $10,000"
so maybe David was playing with an alias.
