The Year of the Pro?

[user40108]

Tom Schneider was just moved to table of Eugene Katchalov and Jeffrey Lisandro. The three have been chatting it up about Jamie Gold's run in the 2006 Main Event and have been speculating on whether or not this will be the year that an established professional captures the title.

This year has already been great for the seasoned professionals. So far this year, Nenad Medic, David Singer, Erick Lindgren, Rep Porter, Mike Matusow, Vanessa Selbst and Daniel Negreanu have already taken home WSOP gold.
