Rehman Kassam Enters
Level 4
: 300/600, 600 ante
Originally from England but an Aussie for a while now, Rehman Kassam is among the 71 first players that have entered the A$2,500 High Roller. A regular here in Club Marconi, Kassam has made deep runs during the WSOP International Circuit, the Aussie Millions and the WPT all here down under in the past few years.
With a little over half a million lifetime, the PokerBROS ambassador, who are sponsoring the Summer Championships, is looking to add more to that in this two-day high roller event.
Apart from Kassam, another notable popped up in Craig Blight. Blight holds over $800K in lifetime Hendon Mob winnings and cashed the WSOP Main Event in both 2018 and 2019, among plenty of other accolades.
