Final Table Profiles: Seat 5 - Leo Boxell (Melbourne, Australia)
![[user38449]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Leo Boxell is the patriarch of one of Australia’s great poker families. His record is one of the most extensive in this part of the world , boasting victories in the 2000 Australasian and 2001 NZ Championships. In 2003, he came within a whisker of becoming the first local to win the Aussie Millions, but ultimately finished runner-up to Peter Costa. A mechanic by trade, his rugged appearance hides a gentle soul but fiercely competitive spirit. He’ll be assured plenty of support at the final table from wife Bev, who rarely misses a hand that Leo plays.
Boxell will begin the final table with 1,236,000 in chips.
