Jason: I don't know all the nicknames and abbreviations and what-not.
MCG = Matt Cohn-Geier Jason = Jason Lester Roger = Roger Low Billy = Billy Horan PJ = Peter Jes Thompsen Gus = Gustav Hansen = Gustav Jacobsen Hansen = Gustav Albrecht Bjørn Jacobsen KG = Kent Goulding Sly = Joe Sylvester Nack = Nicholas Ballard Papazian = Chuck Papazian
and I guess Jake's Bobby = Bob Wachtel
I don't know for certain how old Peter Jes is. Jake (Jacobs) wrote that Peter may have been 19 when he won the world championship in 1993. I do recall having conversations in the late 1990s about him not being old enough to legally be in the casino. But a report in the DBgF Gammon magazine on the 1992 Monte Carlo tournament, when Peter Jes reached the quarterfinals, said he was already 20 then.
