Position on a Friend

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

While perusing around the tournament area, we spotted two friendly faces over on Table 25. PokerStars Team Online members Mickey "mement_mori" Petersen and Randy "nanonoko" Lew are seated right next to one another, with Lew having position on his fellow teammate.

Petersen was quick to fire off his own needle a few minutes later.

While both Petersen and Lew are known for their online prowess - Lew routinely crushes ring games while Petersen has nearly $5.8 million in online tournament earnings - they both have major live scores. In Season 8, Peterson won the EPT Copenhagen Main Event, earning $444,595, while in Season 5, Lew shipped the APPT Macau Main Event, pocketing $484,617.

We'll certainly keep an eye on the two as the battle it out on the actual felt today, and if we see anymore needles on Twitter, we'll pass them along as well.
