I am sure many of you have seen this painting. It is one of my favorite pieces of poker art, or art in general. It is by Leroy Neiman and it is displayed in Bobby's Room in the Bellagio poker room. Seen here in the middle of the frame in an exceptionally poor picture taken by myself last June.
The actual image is pasted below. I am pulling this from memory so it may not be 100% accurate, but pretty close. It was commissioned for the Bellagio opening in 1998 and the only authorized reproductions of any kind were made available to those depicted in the painting itself.
From what I can tell, the players seated from left to right are:
Lyle Berman, Chip Reese, Bobby Baldwin, Doyle Brunson, and Chau Giang.
The people standing watching the game, from left to right are:
Leroy Neiman, Phil Ivey, ???, Jennifer Harmon, ?Benny Binion?, and ???.
Can anyone identify the two guys standing in suits, the guy standing with the hat, the dealer and the female on Bobby's arm (it doesn't look like Audra Hendley to me)?
I have reached out to Doyle on twitter, and while he did provide me with the information on the limited reproductions, he didn't identify anyone in the piece. I have also reached out to the Leroy Neiman website at info@leroyneiman.com with no reply (yes I know he is dead but his estate runs it).
Anyone know, or care to guess?
