Well afaik Kiwi has been playing poker for a living for a while now and Starcraft is more of a side hobby for him.
Also I believe Rekrul has a WSOP HU bracelet, Hevad Khan has made a WSOP ME final table, BigBalls (Ryan Daut) has won a WPT, mig had some big scores as well and obviously Elky is very famous with several titles to his name. So Starcraft players are already pretty well known in the poker scene and TL/SC has been mentioned in interviews plenty of times.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some other players as well.
Anyways, GL Kiwi!

yeah elky was actually in the running to make player of the year till he busted out in the main event..

He said in a few interviews in the past that he played for about 3 years and then slowed down severely when SC2 came out because he got kinda bored with Poker. That said he must have still dabbled once in a while, and something like the WSOP is something he felt he might as well enter lol. I don't think he treats SC2 as a side to Poker though, I guess they just go hand in hand somewhat.

i'm not a pro poker player at all, but when im in situations like this, i play extremely safe till im in the money. even if it means that i fold every hand. there's nothing more devastating than leaving a tournament a few spots before the money

this is not good

kiwi has 330k and has vanessa rousso sitting at his table, decent chance we catch him on the stream for a second, especially if he busts her!

They will most likely stream the same way they did yesterday, so two featured tables - not every single table wheres action/popular players. :-)
