We just cited confidence as a big factor for poker players and something that plays a pivotal role in current success. Team U.K.'s Jack Salter should have plenty of confidence right now after recording two final tables at the 2015 Aussie Millions and then finishing fifth in the L.A. Poker Classic $50,000 Turbo High Roller. His brother, Louis Salter, is slowly following in his footsteps and we're sure they will be a tough tandem to deal with for the other countries.

Another tough and talented player from the U.K. will be Oliver Price, and he's also been on some good form as of late. Simon Deadman has been quiet recently, but he's a solid player in his own right who should take this event seriously and bring his best to the table. Sam Trickett could likely be the complete opposite.

Over the years, Trickett has put up many big results, but it goes without question that his heart must be in it. If it's not and he doesn't care too much on that particular day, he could be off to the rail very early. He also recently tweeted about coming down with a fever, and that could play into how well he's able to perform.

One thing is for sure, though, and that's U.K.'s pride in their country. Knowing how much they want to compete well on all international stages around the world should help bring this team together.
