Mr Pink will probably need no introduction to James Akenhead as he's one the top UK young pros. He came 2nd in the opening $1500 event last year after the other guy sucked out on him HU (in a hand that would've given him the bracelet).
He's also FT'ed a bunch of UK tour events and is sometimes a guest columnist in UK poker magazines and such.
I believe his style can be summarised as 'very aggro' |

Instead of keeping the fat jokes to himself, he could ...
1) Print up that blog post
2) Have someone else bring it to the table about 35 minutes before day 3 starts
3) Put it by everyone's chip bag by the table
4) Watch Tomer tilt |

I know him quite well. We've played together a bit too. We both final tabled a £1k UK event last year.
He's a good player, but he respects my game too. Not that my stack will give him too many problems! |

Thanks Cro, helped me figure out where my friend Jesse Yaginuma stood. He is on to Day 3, with about 65k in chips. After running up over 135k on Day 1, he ran cold on Day 2, but as we all know, a little run good, and they can turn it all around. Jesse's good peeps, and a heck of a poker player so keep your eyes out for him!

I've played with Tomer at the Mirage before. I don't hate finding him at my limit table, but nor is he a fish.
I also nearly played with him in my first live tourney ever. This was also the first time I met Chrisjp, so I found it amusing to re-read the trip report. |

It was funny to read. I was a serious NL MTT fish back then. I may not be all that much better now, but I'm better enough that some of the hands make me cringe now. |

GL you your friend raisin. I noticed Marco Traniello in Seat 3, that's Jennifer Harmon's husband. He's got a huge stack--9500 chips.  A couple of early double ups and he's back in it though.
