What do the numbers with dashes after the chip counts mean?

James Van Alstyne is a good player that nobody has probably heard of. http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/play...a=r&n=9420

I got to play with him several times in the UPC and he is a threat even with a shortstack.

[BK_]

if daniel n goes on to finish really high in this tournament i will be very impressed. he said from the start of the tournament that he was determined to win and has been playing extremely well.

[Equal]

Especially after losing the majority of his stack to Chan.

[TriGonzo]

Nam Le is another young dangerous player nobody has ever heard of that I've played against in California.

I wonder if Daniel will play different than normal given that he wants to finish in the final 9 (for the POY) as much as (more than?) he wants to win. I'm sure there are players at his table today that will test that theory themselves.

[UMTerp]

I would think he would. He's been talking about the POY thing an awful lot lately in his journal. Fortunately for him though, he's in a position where it'd be hard not to make the Final 9 even if he played his normal game. If he was sitting in 5th or 6th right now, it'd be a different story, and I'm sure people would put him to the test when there got to be 11 or 12 players left.
