I see his name frequently pop up in final tables and as one of the current chip leaders. he's currently third in the bellagio tournament. I guess barry taught him how to be good.

I played with him for a while the other day.

He plays good.

Nice kid, too.

Barry G is a great teacher. Mimi Tran, Joe Sebok, even Phil Ivey said he learned more about poker from Barry than from anyone else.

Having a teacher like Barry is gold. He will rule the poker world in the future - until little 9yr old Lederer decides to start playing.

i mean from the last time i saw him play in that limit final table on the WSOP, he seemed to not really have a total grasp of things. Obviously he seems to be improving quite fast and he admits it himself that is still a "noob". I wish i had big bear as my tutor.

he came with Barry to our Blogger get-together on Sat.

Good looking young man - almost made me turn gay - LOL - but yah, also agree on the "he's very cool" assessment.

No idea on his game, but I suspect it's up there with the best.

Clonie Gowan has apparently been getting some coaching from Greenstein - she just made a final table at a Bellagio event.

Seeing a pattern there with the Greenstien thing?

Clonie was supposed to show up with Jesus at our blogger event - they missed it

guess making final tables is a good timekiller too

I think she needed it. After she ripped my play(even though she saw like 7 out of the 50 hands we played headsup) as a commentator on Ultimate Poker Challenge, I looked her up in the Hendon Mob Database. Clonie's Stats

She won 25k in that invite 6 handed thing, then won 99k in the Full Tilt invite thing 23 handed. Besides that, she has been horrible and she plays everywhere. I sat by her one day and talked to her for like 20 minutes, she said Full Tilt pays for her buyins, etc. I said a couple negative things about FT and she got a little defensive.

She got a good cash though in a Bellagio finishing 4th last week for 33k, that put her ahead of me in this years Cardplayer rankings, but next year I'm taking her down while only playing 15 or 20 events.

There was a 4-way chop and I'm pretty sure everyone got an equal amt, aprox twice the figure you mentioned.
