Julian "The Grinder" Thew

It's not often Julian Thew grinds, but today he's ground like no man has ever ground before. After doubling up to 9,500, Thew dropped back down to 5,000 after "folding marginal hands to a few raises," before doubling up once again with kings versus queens. Now with 10,500, Thew is over his starting stack for the first time today and is celebrating accordingly. As a man who is normally out in level one, or has half the chips in play by the end of the day, I'm beginning to wonder if it's even him!
