Badhat and Pegasus
On our initial walkthrough we noticed a couple of WSOPC regulars.
Mark "Pegasus" Smith is no stranger to the WSOPC. In fact, he is currently tied with Men "The Master" Nguyen for most WSOPC rings with four. Smith almost made it five last month in Durant, Oklahoma when he finished second in Event #32: $345 at the WSOPC-Choctaw. While there was no official desgination, Smith is recognized as the 2009/2010 WSOPC Player of the Year.
On the other side of the room sits Kenny "Badhat" Piel. Nicknamed "Badhat" because of his signature hat and corresponding business, Piel has eight circuit cashes totaling $28,734. His most recent cash came back in October at the WSOPC-Southern Indiana stop. Piel has homefield advantage on his side as he currently resides in Tunica.
Only time will tell if either of these circuit regulars will break through and make a run at the WSOPC gold ring.
