Twizzy,
I think I have seen this article before. Or some form of it. I thought the answer was given as Eddie was the Professional since he kept records of his time and money and "clocked in and out" like a real job. The others were amatures especially Charlie since he donked off most of his Bankroll.

The other seven players at the final table won over a million dollars each. It's a safe bet that a few of them now consider themselves poker professionals. What does that mean?
