His real name is Lenny Duvdivani but he goes by Lenny Dove (@dovelenny on Twitter). “Just easier to say,” he grinned as he eyed his large stack of nearly 700K, which is probably good for 2nd in chips at this point. You might not know who Lenny is but the best poker professionals in South Florida do:

That’s some pretty high praise. Mizrachi told me that when he first started playing poker he would go up against Lenny. “Learned a lot from him,” he smiled. He has had some tournament success including a cash in the $10,000,000 Guaranteed back in August but his forte is in cash games. Grinder, and Lenny’s wife Regette, told me that Lenny is a true grinder that has been playing cash games from years. His best tournament score is $12,033 at a Venetian Deep Stack event. He’s looking good to topple that mark in this tournament.
