If there was EVER a case for plastic surgery the time is now. In fact if I ever win a major televised event, I will declare (on TV) that I will pay for X-22's nose-job, so he can get that piece cut off or whatever. Man, shiver....

This guy could probably afford it anyway with his poker winnings.

however, there is no amount of poker winnings that could buy him the company of a woman for 2 minutes.

Previous poster, he's married u idiot!

Married? To a human or did he build a virtual reality female robot in his dungeon? Look what he listed as his hometown for his WSOP entry: Planet X. No joke. What human female is attracted by that? Luckily for him his dashingly handsome looks compensate for his eccentricity. My guess is that he married the robot.

wtf is with his deformed nose? i feel sick. QUACK QUACK Why cant they blur out his mangled face on tv, i find it offencive, someone should send him a paper bag.

This guy puts on a retard image to put off his opponents? Whats the point, his mangled nose is enough to put opponents off their game. No one can stomach a glance in his direction to get any tells.

I use his picture to make my kids believe there really is a boogeyman

Makes Barry Greenstein look like a male model.

Was his nose painted on his face by Salvador Dali?

did he pick his right nostril with his big toe for most of his life?

This is Paul, i had cosmetic surgery to stretch out part of my nose. I take my game very seriously and will go to great extremes to ensure i have an advantage over my opponents. I deliberately make myself look like a freak of nature and it works, i'm making good money in poker so fuck you all.

Paul was hired to replace Shana Hiatt on next year's WPT broadcasts.

Hello,Paul!Can you tell your e-mail? I would like to ask some questions about your backgammon book...

I just watched Paul Magriel on TV and decided to look him up out of curiosity. His antics would drive me crazy, but so what? As for all of the people that have attacked how Mr. Magriel looks they should be ashamed of themselves. Posting hateful comments on here, while hiding behind the anonymity of cyberspace, does not a big man (or woman) make. I also find it telling that, of all these postings, the people that claim to actually know Mr. Magriel have said nice things about him.

Where are all the photos of paul magriel, so'e so god damn sexxy!!!

"Quack Quack!" can you be MY duckie paul???

" i think i need a nose job! "

Hey Alaskanwoman, "does not a big man make?" Who the fuck are you, Yoda? I don't claim to be good looking or anything, but that is one ugly MF. Even his mother had problems loving that mask.

paul magriel what happened to your nose???are you on crack???

who ever wrote: "Who the fuck are you, Yoda? I don't claim to be good looking or anything, but that is one ugly MF. Even his mother had problems loving that mask"

he puts on a retard image!!!!! what is that supposed to mean???

Previous poster - i mean that he makes himself look like an idiot so opponents wont take him seriously. Sticking his tongue out, quacking away etc. But he already has the deformed nose and butt-ugly face happening so he doesnt need to act it out much more.

let it all out everyone!!!!

Great news, Paul's wife just had a baby. It's a girl, and she looks just like Daddy.

he's not pro-creating is he!??Yuck. Is he missing the chromosome that determines where your nose-skin stops???SAW THAT EXTRA SKIN OFF YOUR NOSE DUDE!!!!! NAAAAASTY. I'd rather butt-rape a dude than be in a room with you for 45 minutes. At least with the dude, I'd be done in 30 seconds.

hahahaahahahhahahfuck man this is like a friken debate!!! fuckin funni shit

Alaskan woman is right, you should be ashamed if your posts are hateful. But if they're just mean, I don't know what to say because they are SO DAMN FUNNY. I'm laughing aloud, to the point of injuring my gut.

coke nose?

You make fun of Paul Magriel, but most of you can't spell. Paul Magriel was mugged at knifepoint when he was a child. He got sliced in the nose. That's why his nose is like that.

Quack Quack
 

SHOULD BE 'HEeEeEEEeeeeeE HAwwwWWwWwWWWw" how irratating is this donkey to be at the same table with?

He knocked Hellmuth out in 2005 with pocket 7's. Of course Hellmuth was pissed. This guy looks like Steven King on Crack!

you guys are so fucking disrespectful. He is not a good looking dude...so what??? I bet he has a lot of good qualities. And I bet that most of you look like crap.

I just saw him on TV (PPT?) on the final table with som old
broad next to him....and this idiot turns toward this broad
and makes some kind of face at her, and she just looked at
him and made a face back at him....it made me puke...if I
ever play on the same table with him, I'am going to ask him
why didn't he take some of the money he made off his backgammon books, and have an operation

If it was possible to survive an abortion, that's how the child turn out.

Paul, what's ur email. I like to ask why u don't win.

God, I just had a terrible thought....Holloween is just around the corner.....can you imagine the trama the little kids would go through if they knocked on his door?

A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be seated in a cash game with Paul. I ended up staying in the game all night until 6 am when the casino actually broke up the game for one reason or another.

I found Paul to be a gentleman and fun to play poker with. He has a few quirks, but we all have SOME that we may not even know about. At any rate he was an intelligent, respectful player who was quiet most of the time and thoughtful the rest of the time. I believe his math skills are outstanding and his ability to read other players exceptional. I only post this because I see such moronic and disrespectful comments about Paul on this and other sites. He is a gentleman, a scholar (creditials to prove it), and a demonstrated top poker player. I would be honored to be in any game with him.
