Some Poker Players Are Just Fatty's
A few of the players here in the Amazon Blue secton are sporting matching red tops with plenty of logos on them, including one that is a black spade and has the word "Fatty's" written on it. Fatty's is a poker club in New York that has sent ten players to the WSOP Main Event. Here in Blue, we have four them them. Al Riccobono, Mike Castaldo, Erik Hofmann and Scott Einiger are all here to represent the club and hope to make some things happen.
Riccobono said about the group, ��There is no reason why the representative Fatty��s players won��t make a splash. I expect big things from this oversized crew �C- just wait!��
Hopefully the Main Event here is a catalyst for big things to come from this crew, who are looking to jumpstart a docu-reality TV show based around poker. "It's like Cheers, but around a poker table," said Riccobono. They'll also have Lacey Jones working with them on the show, which is surely a treat for anyone's eyes.
In the official press release, which can be read here, it said, "Fatty��s: Where Poker Gets REAL follows New York poker club owner Mike ��The Nose�� Castaldo, professional poker players and a cast of regular local Joes who will interact with pros and celebrities throughout the year, both on and away from the tables."
The four of them seated in this section are all still alive. Here's their counts.
Einiger - 38,000
Castaldo - 28,750
Riccobono - 23650
Hofmann - 17,100
