There are already some notable players out in the WSOP Main Event which might effect the standings for your fantasy team. Greg Raymer, a former Main Event winner and Ivan Demidov are just a few of the fantasy poker stars out in their first days.

Looking through the long list of names of players who survived Day 1a and Day 1B a few names popped out. Chris Moneymaker has nearly 108,000 chips and sat near the top of the 1a leaderboard and Fatty’s own Lacey Jones had around $68,000 chips after the first day.

We have already broken down the “Fatty’s Five” group, now it is time to breakdown the “Fatty’s All-Stars” in the free fantasy poker game. Don’t think this is useless information. Remember, your Fatty’s players receive double the amount of points that your other 8 players do. If I were you, I’d pay close attention.

The one player that sticks out the most in this group, and not just for his facial features has gotta be Mike “The Nose.” He’s the heart, the soul and the owner of Fatty’s in New York. As the most experienced poker players, next to Old Man Bill ofcourse, he has gotta be a favorite to lead the Fatty’s crew. The “Nose” will be looking to better his 2009 Main Event finish where he cashed out with nearly $33,000. Not bad at all for a week of work.

Kenny “Kendo” is a steady and reliable player who will be at the Main Event after winning a charity poker game earlier this year. The family man says Phil Ivey best fits his style of play. If he takes the ways of winning from Ivey then cashing out at the Main Event is a real possibility.

From what we’ve heard about Carmine, he’s not the guy to pick out of this group. But this will be his second appearance at the Main Event. Maybe 2010 is the year is luck finally turns around and he catches some river cards.

Then there’s Scottie Mayhem. A fairly new poker player compared to the rest of the All-Stars, his competitiveness makes him a safe pick. But one problem, this guys wears a hat with his name on it. C’mon who does that? Just for that, he’s off my fantasy poker team.

Saving the best for last. “Old Man” Bill has been playing poker since FDR was sitting in the White House. That is what you call experience. The 89-year old great grandpa had a distinguished career as a merchant marine chief engineer and business entrepreneur. Now he takes everyone’s money at Fatty’s. If experience and ruthlessness is your key in selecting the All-Star, Old Man Bill is your go to guy.

OUR FATTY’S ALL-STAR PICK: All 5 guys on this list have the possibility of cashing out in the Main Event. But our All-Star selection for the free fantasy poker game is going to the Fatty’s owner, Mike “The Nose.”

Be sure to get your fantasy poker lineups in before July 5^th when the Main Event starts.
