We're beginning to get towards the business end of the ANZPT Melbourne Main Event. The massive screen is ready to tick under 100 players left for the primary time, and when players search for and spot that milestone, they're going to know that things are about to get serious.
As tables break and new line ups are formed, they are going to be confronted with more and more quality players. They'll also probably have some pretty big stacks. Just wandering the room now, we couldn't help but notice the dominance of the web brigade. The young guns out to make their mark at the live poker scene. And in the event that they begin to get some chips, be careful everyone else.
So who're these online phenoms and what are their names?
Well first now we have the gang who clearly chose their online names in line with their very own real life names or initials. Perfectly reasonable, even though a tad boring. But simply because Baza88, Lynskey99, brett threat, Eddy and mjw006 have nitty online usernames, doesn't suggest their game is equally tight.
At the following level up, there's some creativity behind Knightsgee, Jackovich and WhiteRabbito. A BUNCH with names that experience somewhat of mystery, and a few intrigue to the tale in their background.
Finally there a gaggle with usernames that probably raise a couple of eyebrows. Usernames which are part amusing, part disturbing. A NARRATIVE probably better left untold. We're talking in regards to the likes of Banana Thief, Tiny molester, SkunkDen and MON3Y$HOT.
These guys are all still alive within the ANZPT Melbourne Main Event, however the person who has the largest stack of all of them is GooGieMonA.
GooGieMonA probably fits within the intriguing category relating to username, but Edison Nguyen's chip stack is currently in a gaggle of its own within the online circles with over 200,000 in chips. And it sort of feels the others agree.
As Nguyen was raking in another big pot, Adrian "Knightsgee" Attenborough wandered past his table and quipped, "Oh, are all of us playing for second place now?"
Nguyen often goes under the radar but his record is impressive with live wins on the Aussie Millions and ACOP in addition to a last table eventually year's WSOP APAC. And the net kids know exactly how fearsome the GooGieMonA can be.
