Tamas Gabor Kovacs
There are (for me) basically two kinds of poker pros- the celebrity-pros, and the "private" kind of pro. The celebrity-pros are those known all over the world by the mere mention of the name, like- Moneymaker, Mike the Mouth (although this guy could be called notorious as well), and Annie Duke. Well, Jennifer Tilly must belong to an altogether different category, for she is a Hollywood celeb literally.
Now, we go to the second kind, these are those whom you need to "research on", if you wish to know more about him/her, and Tamas Gabor Kovacs is one of them. (Of course, everything could change, if he joins WSOP 2008 and lands in the Finals, he would graduate from this class to the celeb-class).
Let me give you some things about Tamas Gabor Kovacs, he is also called "Mactom", forty years old, and has two kids. His passion is on NL Holdem, favorite movies (just two among others) are Saving Private Ryan (mine too) and Sunshine (not mine). His fave place is Kauai and Tom Hanks is his favorite celeb. He made the poker elite notice him when he landed second place at the Austrian Classics of 2007, he won $52,910 in that event.
(I have a friend who boasts that he knows Tamas Gabor Kovacs personally, but nobody believes him. He used to boast that he taught Evelyn Ng how to play the game in Russia. When we pointed out that this poker lady is not Russian, and probably has never been to Russia, he simply said that he was referring to another Evelyn Ng, one that we've never heard of).Social Bookmarking
