I nominated. Not notable. Winning a preliminary event at the WSOP does not meet the requirement for notability per WP:BLP1E. He has done nothing else notable, the rest of the article is fluff. There are what seem like three RS's but each simply says he won a tournament and then quotes his opinion on random stuff. We already knew he won the tournament and we know one event doesn't make you notable -- even if 3 RS's confirm you won it. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 03:28, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
*Weak Keep*Delete He fits under Wikiproject:Poker essay for notability and while that's just an essay, he did win a very significant event and is a bracelet winner. There are just enough references in which he's sought out for poker expertise by reliable sources that I'm barely on this side of the line.

Keep - Well sourced, and won a significant event. May not be the most accomplished person, but notable per policy. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 09:00, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Keep - Looks like plenty of sources to indicate notability to me. Rray ( talk) 12:57, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Delete - Being quoted does not establish notability and according to
WP:POKER consensus, winning one World Series of Poker tournament doesn't do it either. Not notable.

Keep. Even if this hadn't been the nomination of an obvious and disruptive sockpuppet, I think the subject is notable based on the sources available. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 15:21, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
