Earlier we mentioned that one table held Rex Clinkscales, Jeff Fielder, David "ODB" Baker, Ryan Riess, and Raymond Dandrea. Well, you can add another circuit ring winner to the mix: Michael "Life" Taylor.
Taylor won a ring at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles in January, pocketing $15,505 in the process. Taylor adds another element to this intriguing, and down right brutal, table.
