Very lucky to see Efren, Busty and Filipino crew over the years at HT. Efren was the 1st person to make me wish I had a DVR in my head. Watching him play was one WTF moment after another.
A name that doesn't appear, deservedly so, was Cooney. But boy was it fun to watch him set up large money games, what patience, and then like a warrior march off with the cash.
His swan song was Toby (40) well known money player out of OKC--last name started with a W--excuse my very senior moment --Walden(?)(50) and Cliff (100) quite a road trip.
Watched him at HT play Toby 8 ahead for 40K and the 1st night was down 6 games when I left around 1am. As I was leaving I stopped and commented to "Little Al" Romero that was more of a hole than what I thought I would see Cooney in "Little Al said "No problem he is a warrior." Sure enough two days later he won in a bizarre manner.
Never on a list with R.A. or Efren but did pretty darn good in his world of 1 Hole and was fun.
