Well, I almost never stalk people like this, but I was bored and decided to do a search for "Panella86" on Pokerstars (Jordan Berkowitz, 2005 WCOOP ME Champ).

He's playing in 2 FPP tournaments...

Is it possible he burned through that much money in a month?

just remember that's not his account, he said he was playing on a friends account. He may have transfered his money back to his other one by now and given this one back to his friend.

I played with him in a 20+2 Stud8 tournament a couple weeks back...I thought that was strange.

It might not be him, but I would not be one bit surprised if it was. I think he's bound to be broke...

If guys like him and Moneymaker realize that they are -EV in WPT/EPT/$200-tourneys and that will blow away their money, and thus play lower, doesn't that make them less likely to go broke?

Panella was a buddy's account, so there's a good chance it may not be him.

lots of top players play fpp tournys trying to get a sat into a real tourny. I mean, there's nothing else to do with fpps

You can get yourself a nice T-shirt that says:

Thats a pretty sweeping statement to make about moneymaker, considering that all we really have to go on about his skill is rumor, and his play in one tournament, and not even his play throughout that tournament but rather just the hands that made it to tv. I agree that moneymaker isn't as good as the top pros, but arguinig that he is -EV in a $200 buy in tournament? He's placed in other tournaments, and if I remember correctly, he won or came in second in a big televised bounty tournament about a year ago.
