Who the Hell is Gobboboy?

Keeping up with the Aussie Millions and the chip leader of the main event 
heading to the final table is a 19 year old internet wiz from Illinois, who looks more like 13, named Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke. This kid has been the king of suckouts, hitting flushes and gut-shots on the river, and along the way taking down some big name pros. Pokernews has live coverage of the events as they unfold, usually til late in the evening (early in the morning).
The seven at the final table are Jimmy Fricke, Gus Hansen, Andrew Black, Mark Karam, Kristy Gazes, Julius Colman, and Hans Martin Vogl. Fricke and Hansen are pretty close in chips with Gobboboy having a slight advantage.
Looks like Negreanu's trip to the land down under was a waste of money. Don't believe he cashed on any of the events he entered. He's headed back to the states to Tunica, maybe his luck will change.

Posting should become regular now that some issues have been straightened out and I have tons of time on the internet again. Will be visiting and writing about a couple of new casinos that recently opened nearby. Supposed to be huge and super nice. All for today.
