Battle of the Brits
There is the potential for some interesting battles between two pair of British players who have been seated together today.
Christopher Brammer is sat a couple of seats away from Barney Boatman and that could be a good match-up to watch. We're sure Boatman won't mind us referring to him as being one of poker's old school, while Brammer is most certainly one of the new breed of super-aggressive players who have cut their teeth in the online poker world.
Not too far from Boatman and Brammer are two more Brits. Scotland's Gordon Huntly may not be a household name but he is definitely a talented player. Huntly has just shy of $650,000 in live tournament winnings, including a score of $238,832 which he won for taking down the ANZPT Sydney Main Event in March 2012.
Keeping Huntly company is Julian Thew, a British pro who has stood the test of time. Among Thew's many poker achievements are a European Poker Tour title and three GUKPT (a major UK tour) titles; the latter being a record on that tour.
