Fantazzle and Fatty’s Poker are merely a week away from the start of their FREE Fantasy Poker Challenge, giving fantasy players the chance to fill rosters of poker players and have a shot at a free seat in the 2011 World Series of Poker.

However, this new fantasy poker game isn’t just about cards and luck. In fact, if you have the right information and pick the right guys from Fatty’s Poker, you’re likely to have the upper hand, as the two players selected from the Fatty’s pools earn double the points in the fantasy poker game.

To start the week, we’re profiling the first of two Fatty’s groups, the “Fatty’s Five”. Each group consists of five elite Fatty’s players who are available to be picked in their respective pools for the fantasy poker game. The members of the “Fatty’s Five” are Erik the “Luck Box”, “Big Al” Riccobono, Tommy “Jelly”, Chris “Toutie”, and Tommy “Newman”.

The easy pick here would be Al Riccobono, the leader in cash earnings out of this pool, winning around $165,000 live and almost $100,000 online. While the big money might be enticing, all fantasy players need to give hard looks at other aspects of each player’s game.

Experience can’t be ignored in an up-and-down game like poker, and it’s worth noting that Chris “Toutie” is the player in this pool that has played the longest, participating in poker tournaments since 2003. It’s also worth noting that Tommy “Newman” and Erik “Luck Box” are the newbies of the player pool, only participating in poker tournaments since 2005.

Other interesting notes are Erik “Luck Box” being “lucky”, and winning this year’s “Fatty’s Five” contest. “Newman” has cashed out in 4 of the last 5 WSOP events he has played in while “Big Al” Riccobono cashed out in both the 2007 and 2008 Main Event.

If we had to call it, the race is close between “Newman” and “Big Al”, with “Big Al” topping the competition due to his recent success, overall experience, and cash earnings.

To get all the information on the “Fatty’s Five” and the “Fatty’s All Stars”, just visit Fatty’s Poker, and be sure to sign up to play the free fantasy poker game at Fantazzle!
