Maybe everyone else already knows this, but it caught me by surprise (Working 55 hr weeks = living under a rock)

This is really awesome, a Master foosball player at the Final Table of the WSOP Main Event!! Poker and foosball, my two favorite past times. One of my fantasies has always been to make the final table and then challenge the other players to some foosball for money. Glad I didn't make THIS final table!

Good Luck to Billy Pappas, now I have someone to root for.
