Meet the Table with Howie Mandel
Daniel Fanselow, or "Howie Mandel," as he's known to Anthony Dalpra on his direct left, has taken a certain interest in his tablemates in Paris Yellow, as he provided running commentary on his opponents as two all-ins were taking place at the table.
The first saw Steven Taylor's A♠Q♦ up against the A♦K♦ of Enrico Rattini, which had him pipped. Fanselow let PokerNews know that Enrico was an Italian pro, and he showed his expertise in winning while dominating, as he held on the A♥7♦9♠9♣5♣ board, sending Taylor away.
It was after this hand that "Howie" showed his prowess in memorization, as he listed everyone's names and nationalities to Eric Kotsines, who had just arrived at the table. These included Konstantinos Patsourakis "from the island of Crete," and Sixin Tang from China, who flops well." As he was doing so, the two players surrounding him got all in.
Robert Gill, who was "a bit angry but playing well" according to "Howie's" estimation, held king-jack, and managed to find a double against the ace-queen of Anthony Dalpra. It seems as though Fanselow knows his table almost a bit too well.
