Late arrivals to the Balcony Section include two of the young British players taking the live tournament circuit by storm at the moment - Tony Phillips and Sam Trickett. Phillips, a live cash player at the Vic (and former dealer at the Gutshot Club) has been steadily accumulating results, and recently narrowly missed finalling a $1,500 PLO event at this year's World Series. Today he couldn't even get his seat quietly, and was already asking if anyone was out (like a warm-up for ensuing table-talk) while the tounament director showed him to his correct place.

Trickett made the final table of the WSOP short-handed $5,000 NLHE and has been fairly unstoppable back on home ground of late. Both of them surely worth keeping an eye (and an ear) on.
