Jean Robert Bellande who was known as Action Bobby in the pool world for a number of years until he turned to poker 5 or 6 years ago is doing pretty good at this moment in the main event. He is in the top 20 and guaranteed 57K at the moment but looking for a lot bigger payday (top prize is close to 10million). You can follow him on his tweet http://twitter.com/BrokeLivingJRB or the live reporting for world series of poker.
He was recently involved in some good action 1 pocket matches in Vegas while Dippy Dave was going off, although he was playing for thousands it kind of went unnoticed. He has won and lost hundreds of thousands playing pool and I am sure if he made the final table he would take a few breaks from poker for some big action pool matches.
