The poker world will be watching and cheering the Mad Yank on, with the likes of Mad Mike Caro (the professor of poker), world renowned ‘Poker Brat’ Phil Hellmuth and Johnny ‘Oriental Express’ Chan among the many top named pro’s offering their services and willing to take a shot at the Mad Yank. How many players he’ll encounter before breaking the World Record is anyone’s guess, but one thing’s for sure…Ron Fanelli is just Mad enough to pull it off.
