  1. WHERE'S SAMMY. Without Sammy it's a nit fest. Where's the king of the double straddle?

  2. With Ziigmund and Durrrr I don't think it will be a nit fest. Sammy seems to be the most missed player on the list, however. There are some "where's Gus" comments too.

  3. I think I saw Sammy in the list in another poker site. Maybe he still is playing? Haven't seen him on any other poker sites though. =(

  7. Suck that Sammy isn't on the list, i honestly can't belive it almost, many people watch the show almost only because of him.
