WhoJedi Has The Force On His Side
Jay Newnum, or "WhoJedi" as he is known on twitter and in the poker media world, is holding his own on the felt here at the Bike. Newmun bagged 48,000 last night, and he has already worked that up to 80,000 today. Newmun has done this despite what could be some of the toughest seating assignments in the tournament.
Yesterday, Newnum was rubbing shoulders with the likes of Ben Yu and AJ Jejelowo. Yu busted halfway through the day, but he was replaced by another well known pro, Joe Tehan. Newnum persevered to make it to Day 2, where he was given a warm welcome by WPT Champion Nam Le, who is on his immediate left today. Despite these bad draws, Newnum is still above the average stack, and looking for a deep run.
