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.
Everything in life, including poker, has to be kept in balance. The saying, "what goes up must come down," kinds of works for poker too. Ben Ludlow's tournament has ended abruptly during Level 7, but going in the opposite direction is Raj Vohra on 46,000 chips.
Florida resident, Vohra has over $650,000 in live tournament winnings and is looking to add to that impressive total here in Event #28.

"You win," his opponent said, mucking his cards. Cunningham tossed into the middle.
According to the players at Layne Flack's old table, the six-time bracelet winner jammed his last 1,500 or so, and a player called him with . Flack's was best, but his opponent turned a seven to send Flack to the rail.
Allen Cunningham's opponent fired 350 into a pot of about 1,300 in a blind battle on a flop. Cunningham put him all in, and the player folded after tanking for about a minute.
