Style and Form in Level Five

Don't you love double meanings! While watching Leo Kam checking the nuts on the river (having hit a gutshot broadway) and not getting a bite from button Dan Samson (but a wry head shake instead as if to say, "Tsk tsk, do you think it's that easy to trap me?) it occurred to me that his proto-mohican hair is very striking. 8/10 for the prior-GUKPT Winning Canadian.


As previously noted, Hoa 'Gandi' Ngo is bringing high-visibility to the world of tournament poker. Only the colourblind would fail to spot the brightly accessorised Ngo - maybe that's tactical, in a way - like those poisonous bugs which are all brightly patterned as if to say, "Come on predators, I dare you to take a bite!" You probably can't see this in the glow from Ngo, but his neighbour Jake Cody, as well as sporting my favourite sort of shapeless head ornamentation is also wearing a subtly sparkly shirt which makes it look like he's just come in from the rain. 9/10 and 6.5/10 respectively for effort.


Finally we have Kenny King, whom Floppy tells me was responsible for a double bust-out earlier, and whose stack is definitely in the 'comfortable' 30k range now. He appears to have sewn small metal shields all over his tank top, for which he receives top poker fashion marks. 10/10 for idiosyncrasy.
