The Poker History and Trivia Test

This test is designed to see how much you know about the history and players of the game I KNOW you all play and love - that being poker...

In order to do well on this test - you can't just have watched a couple of episodes of the World Series of Poker on ESPN...you will truly have to know the history of the game as well as who has done well at this game - AND who hasn't...you'll have to know the online game...and watched a LOT of poker on TV...this is not an easy quiz (though there are a couple of no brainers)...

This test is being written on July 7th-8th, 2008 - so the results of the main event of the 2008 WSOP will not be included...

We could argue whether poker is a "sport" all day long - but since the powers that be included skateboarding in their description - I say for the purpose of this contest - poker is fair game... 

As always with my tests - you are on your honor not to look up any answers as you take the test (aka "The Google Rule")...I mean what fun would that be - saying "I can cheat better than anyone"...
