Steve Danemann...

His new table image as a "big time player" might help him.

Clueless people might be all "That guy finished 2nd in the WSOP ME! *gulp*" and let him walk over them.

AKA his success is breeding more success.

I played with him post WSOP but pre-broadcast. He's pretty unassuming, you might even say "goofy." I doubt he's trying to come off as a "big time player." I think his only offense is being overly gregarious.

It looks like Steve is getting a head start on giving some credibility to his second place finish.

there was only 77 players in this bad boy

I have no idea if he's good or not, but winning a tournament with 77 entries doesn't do much for me (albeit, maybe a little)

he wins a 77 person tourney: no respect
he gets 2nd in a 5619 person tourney: no respect

does he need 17 WSOP bracelets before he's OK at poker?

How can you give a guy respect who is playing heads up for 7.5 million and just dumps off his chips because, in his words, "I was bored."?

Because being infatuated with money, while common, is not a virtue.

I still dont like him

All I know is that he has a lot of N's in his name.

This TOC showing might shut up a few people on here if he plays well for the TV cameras... he seems to be doing quite well for himself post-WSOP.

8. Grant Lang - $61,500 (Seat 2)

It kind of looks like he may have the best seat at the table. Relative to the small and big stacks, he's in a great spot.

my conversation with steve danemann in the bathroom of the bellagio this weekend:

"hey mr. danemann."
"hello."
"congrats on winning a lot of money."
"thank you."
