You could try Shaun Deeb or Danny Ryan maybe? They very well may have met him before but I really don't know. Note he is from the Netherlands, so any poker players from there in the tournament may very well know him. Oh, and if you talk to Shaun Deeb make sure to ask him if he's "Wafflecrushing" the field.
I have three friends in this tournament, Daniel Didech, Ben Sulsky, and Johan Van Til. I appreciate the sparing updates you have on Sulsky and Didech, they are much appreciated! If you didn't know, Ben Sulsky is a very well respected high stakes online cash game player, mostly playing 10/20 NL 6 max, he goes by the handle "Sauce123." Johan Van Til is also well regarded in the online community, as he is considered one of the top Online tournament players in the world. I saw that Van Til was short stacked, is he still in this thing?
