Flying the Flag

As expected, the World Series has attracted a plethora of countries from around the globe, but it's the Brits who have possibly caused the biggest stir. Adorning more jewelry of Mr. T and Scotty Nguyen's love child, the UK picked up bracelet number five last night, and there are plenty of UK-based players looking to echo Steve Jelinek's success today.

As well as November Niner James Akenhead, we also have fellow Hit Squad member Karl Mahrenholz, as well as Neil Channing, Jamie Roberts, David Tighe, Rob Sherwood, Sam Trickett and many more. If the Brits continue their good form, then there's no reason why they can't hit Vegas for six before the Main Event arrives.
