While perusing around the tournament area, we spotted two friendly faces over on Table 25. PokerStars Team Online members Mickey "mement_mori" Petersen and Randy "nanonoko" Lew are seated right next to one another, with Lew having position on his fellow teammate.
Have direct position on fellow team online member @mickeydp in the #EPTGrandFinal this'll be fun.May 07 2013Follow
Petersen was quick to fire off his own needle a few minutes later.
Decent table draw for day 1 of #EPTGrandFinal with four humans and one robot. Planning to win some nice pots off @nanonoko today!May 07 2013Follow
While both Petersen and Lew are known for their online prowess - Lew routinely crushes ring games while Petersen has nearly $5.8 million in online tournament earnings - they both have major live scores. In Season 8, Peterson won the EPT Copenhagen Main Event, earning $444,595, while in Season 5, Lew shipped the APPT Macau Main Event, pocketing $484,617.
We'll certainly keep an eye on the two as the battle it out on the actual felt today, and if we see anymore needles on Twitter, we'll pass them along as well.
