The Bad Boy Of Bubble Hockey Surviving On Day 2

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Throughout the day we have noticed one player with an extremely short stack, however, as the field continues to shrink Marc Steel has managed to survive to this point. As we passed by a moment ago, Steel caught our attention to inform PokerNews that he was still alive, even with his micro-stack of just 12,000 chips.

With a hand in progress, Steel mentioned that he had been dubbed "Survivor Man" by his fellow players, and followed that by stating "I think they hate me, but I'm still here."

Steel went on to say that he prefers a nickname he earned years ago while competing in another tournament circuit: The Bad Boy of Bubble Hockey. Apparently Steel was ranked 4th in the world among bubble hockey players, and although poker is a stark departure from that game, Steel is fast becoming Day 2's resident bad boy.
