"Slo-Mo" is Mike McCall's poker nickname, and is also part of his Big 8 nickname from his time with the drumline of the Florida State University Marching Chiefs.  (Yes, the drumline is called Big 8, but that's another story for another time.)  Each member of Big 8 was given a unique name, usually something to at least "sort of" exemplify the person.  For instance, one of the members, a guy named Trent Robinson, was a "Ken" looking guy (of Ken & Barbie fame) - a good looking guy who always seemed to attract the females.  This prompted the old members to assign him the name of "Biff Limelight".

Origin

T2

"T2" is Tom Voulieris' poker nickname, but predates his participation in any Mandarin Poker Tour or Birthday Poker Tournament events.

Both Tom Voulieris and Tom Ching were co-workers in the same office, but due to confusion when just talking about "Tom," Tom Voulieris was dubbed "T2" or "the second Tom."

Despite the tongue-in-cheek slight as being the secondary Tom, T2 also resonates as reference the cybernetic robots from the Terminator series of motion pictures, suggesting that T2 is nearly unstoppable (as evidenced by his play history).
