If there is an 'amateur' in the field today that would have to be Guy Laliberte. Laliberte is alternately from Montreal, Quebec and Beverly Hills, California. He has the distinction of having won his seat to the Five Star Event two years in a row through a Super Satellite tournament. Other than that, Laliberte shows no record on the poker database charts but we suspect from his play that he has been playing under a pseudonym in Canada or has honed his skills online.
His play for this entire tournament as been characterized by flashes of super aggression tempered with a great deal of patience. If Laliberte is not pushing his chips at you, he is quietly sitting and folding hands. Several players have made the mistake of underestimating his play; those players are not at this final table.
Laliberte begins today in a solid third chip position with Carlos Mortensen on his immediate left.
