They just updated the list of people that the November nine, and I have to say I'm so excited for your friend, but more importantly for Phil Ivey!

He is by far my favorite poker player and is just brilliant as far as I'm concerned, but your friend has more chips than Ivey does.

And Now they both get to take a break and get training I'm assuming and get signed to poker rooms.

Your friend will probably get a deal, I'm sure.

Here's the list for anyone wanting to know.
