Christopher Cosenza is co-host of the longest running poker podcast on the planet, Ante Up! He started playing poker seriously in 2003 and his favorite players are Phil Ivey and Kenna James, though he tends to act like Phil Hellmuth if you make a bad play against him.
Scott Long, Ante Up!'s other co-host, is the author of the monthly Bet on It column in tbt*. He began gambling way too young (don't tell the fuzz!) and in the seventh grade, named his state "Gambleland" for a school project (State Animal? Loan shark, of course).
No bracelets for Ante Up Nation yet?! Come on guys! :) I'm playing in #36 and #39, so cross your fingers.
Bracelet winner in event #5 was on my left all through event #38 last year. He was the chip leader for much of that time too!

I just heard on PokerRoad Radio that the guy who won the 7 card stud event donated all of his winnings to charity. Nice guy.
