What happend to J. D'Agastino?

quintass · Dec 7, 2010

I don't see him around much. Is he still playing? Or has "Jdags" taken his 1.7 million and retired?

I would love to see an article on "Where are they now?" in the poker world.

Players such as JDags, Paul Darden, Chris Bigler, Paul Phillips and more.

How about you guys... Any others?

I was wondering that very thing the other day about Clonie Gowen. Haven't heard much about her since that full-blown lawsuit scandal.

One of those articles has already been written: http://wickedchopspoker.com/wcp-goes-heads-up-with-paul-phillips/

Very interesting article, Oz--thanks!

Here's another: Cyncy Violette.

Everyone else that's been mentioned above, with the exception of Clonie Gowen, seems to still be playing - the Hendon Mob database lists them all as having multiple cashes in tournaments in the past 12 months (though Paul Darden's recent ones are all in sub-$1K buy in events). Clonie Gowen isn't listed as having cashed in anything since 2009.

And FWIW I don't think Chris Bigler was ever a "professional" player.

Good article but he still seems as allusive in that interview as he did when he was on the poker circuit.

Thanks Oz

Good question, I liked JDags. I was also wondering about Scott Fishman the other day, haven't heard much from him lately.

As for Paul Phillips, last I heard he moved to Bend, OR and has given up poker to raise a family. He has a daughter named Ivy, and I believe a second child now as well.

i doubt he retired esp with his money , not many gamblers retire on top at a young age , it is very rare but does often.

Its definitely difficult to repeatedly keep placing high in big tournaments. A lot of variance.
