The screen name stpauli111 has been ubiquitous in the top spots of tournaments results since March of 2007. He came out of almost nowhere to win more than $61,000 from the final tables of four Online Player of the Year-qualified tournaments that month, alone. The ball was greased and on a steep downhill slope, from there.

Since that time, stpauli111, whose real name is Scott Hall, has made OPOY-qualified finishes in a ton of other tournaments, and he's earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in a short amount of time. Hall currently sits high up on the major online poker leader boards after the incredible run that he's had so far.

Despite his success, however, Hall is looking forward to getting back to a "normal" life and going back to school. He could also see himself heading back to his job at a golf course — a job for which he gets paid barely more than minimum wage — simply because he enjoys it. Many in the online poker world probably hope that he does that sooner than later.
