A Different Kind of Felt

One of the locals playing in today's tournament is none other than Alex "The Lion" Pagulayan. Pagulayan is better known around these parts for his skills on a different kind of felt-covered table -- a billiards table. Pagulayan is a champion nine-ball player, having competed in and won various nine-ball tournaments around the world.

Pagulayan is finding competing in poker tournament a big more difficult. His chip count currently stands at about 4,500 and hasn't been much over the starting stack all day.
