British pro Mike Ellis has increased his stack by 10,000 within these opening rounds. Last spotted reraising a late-position raiser off his hand from the big blind, Ellis is now on 38,000.
Winner of season one's grand final of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour in England, Ellis is one of those players who goes about his business without making much noise, and, come final table time, always seems to snap up a seat unnoticed.
