Gobbo Update

Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke is sitting on a stack worth about 6,500. He hasn't been able to play too many hands and has been patiently waiting to strike. Although Gobboboy's most noteworthy finish was second place at the Aussie Millions main event last year, he also cashed at the World Series of Poker Europe's HORSE event. He took 16th place out of 105 runners. so don't count him out in today's event.
