Weak keep: He meets the criteria at WikiProject Poker of having won a WSOP event, and he has won two. He is on the list World Series of Poker multiple bracelet winners and most others who have won two have articles. And this (not in the article) looks like significant coverage.

Keep he is a two time World Series of Poker bracelet winner with over $2 million in live career tournament winnings the article could stand improvement much as SchreiberBike made but he is definitely notable.▪◦▪ ≡S i R E X≡  Talk 11:05, 12 July 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Seems the criterion for the basis for a keep is not based in WP, but instead a notion by a project page, a notion by the way that would include literally thousands of people who would otherwise fail WP:GNG completely. All coverage, even the 'notable' instance above seems seems very much WP:ROUTINE and I'd ask that before this discussion is closed to get input not only on the policy mentioned above, but to get it from editors not involved directly with the Wikipedia poker project.

 * Keep and expand. Two-time world bracelet winner makes for notability. Billy Hathorn (talk) 18:50, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * weak Delete The acceptance of WP guidelines depends on their acceptance by the general community. I do not think this one has such acceptance, and I do not think it ought to have. Part of the problem is the rise in number of qualifying events--according to the article World_Series_of_Poker_bracelet there were originally 10; now there are 71. The only way to find out is to nominate people at the borderline, or conduct an RfC. This may be above the borderline, since he has won two events. I would suggest nominating a few who have only one, and no other notability--that's the best way to determine consensus.  DGG ( talk ) 00:57, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep- I added another tournament win, and there are some sources (blogs or poker-related news) which talk about him being caught on videotape while cheating back in 2003 or 2004 and subsequently being barred from entering Hollywood Casino in Shreveport?, Louisiana, see here; he's ceratinly talked about...
