Three of a Different Kind

From the Empire...

Three top players have been placed in consecutive seats today, Daniel Negreanu (27,125), Ben Roberts (17,675) and Alan Goehring (10,900) all vying for that WSOPE bracelet.

However, the only thing I can see that they have in common is that they are all pros. Whilst Daniel nonchalantly tinkers with his phone, boredom setting in as he searches for someone to banter with, Alan is all business, sitting upright with his shades on and focusing intently on every hand that passes by.

Meanwhile, Ben Roberts, who is perhaps the World's best Omaha player, and vastly underrated to boot, is somewhat in the middle, relaxed and composed, but still paying attention to everything around him. Ben has a real 'butter would melt in my mouth' kind of look about him, but like the shark that he is, if he smells weakness, he'll pounce.

It'll be interesting to see how these contrasting styles and personalities mesh as the tournament progresses.
