Not notable. Only source is a tournament results page. That does not establish notability. The majority of this wordy article is completely unsourced. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 22:45, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

::Trying to clean it up, this article is real bad. Nothing is sourced and it reads like a guy telling stories to his grandkids. I looked for reputable sources to back this stuff up and found nothing. The only thing I can find that we can source is that he won a couple small tournaments over 20 years ago Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 02:30, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Keep. Follows WikiPokerProject guideline, person has two World series of Poker championships, as well as a second. Simply needs to have references added. 2005 (talk) 01:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

::There aren't any references on this guy. Which is exactly why he isn't notable. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 02:36, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

:::I suppose [http://www.si.com/vault/1979/05/14/823634/youth-can-age-you-old-style-poker-players-the-colorful-flamboyant-stars-of-fact-and-legend-are-being-challenged-by-a-new-breed-that-is-youthful-matter-of-fact-and-scientific Sports Illustrated] isn't notable? He's won a World Series of Poker bracelet, that's the automatic criteria of the Project. He's also listed in endless places for his accomplishments. Sure the article reads like it was written by a chatty family member, but that is just style. You might want to again familiarize yourself with guidelines like the sports players one, where virtually all baseball players get an article simply for having played. The PokerProject has a far higher bar. 2005 (talk) 06:26, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

::::I added that source as it backed up him being a professional bowler. However beyond that all it does is identify him as a '7-card stud expert,' and then quote him. That's really thin. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Keep. Two WSOP wins and a second place in another (sort of) push him beyond WP:ONEEVENT. Plus he gets part of a Sports Illustrated article, this other article solely about him (preview only)[https://www.gamingtoday.com/articles/article/54620-7_card_stud_leads_to_162K#.VZsBJLXLCnk] and scattered mentions here and there (the guy's still playing high stakes).
