Phillip Willcocks, a 28-year-old professional poker player from Auckland, New Zealand, first made some noise on the local circuit in 2009 after finishing runner-up in the inaugural ANZPT Queensland Main Event for AUD $112,000. Since then, he’s registered an eighth-place finish in the 2009 APPT Cebu Main Event and now finds himself in prime position to earn his first major title, entering the final table with 2,317,000 in chips. Willcocks noted he'd like to get heads-up against the only other New Zealander at the table, Jackson Zheng.
