Follow the Fox

With the likes of Jake Cody (London WPT and Deauville EPT), Toby Lewis (Vilamoura EPT) and James Mitchell (Irish Open), the UK seems to be producing more young talent than the Mickey Mouse Club, but there are also a few faces who were prominent a year or two back but have recently taken a back seat.

One of those is Stuart Fox. We rarely see Fox on the scene at the moment (perhaps, in part, due to the birth of his son), but a few years back he was one of the UK's most successful tournament players with a string of impressive performances.

Armed with an aggressive playing style that perhaps acted as a prelude to the current injection, Fox won a big event in Barcelona in 2006, just a few months before snapping up a second and third in Vegas. One year later, he enjoyed his biggest payday to date with a second place finish in the $5,000 freezeout for $448,892 to bring his total winning passed the one million mark.

But after somewhat of a hiatus, he's returning to the felt today, eager to improve on those near misses and bring another large sum back to Midlands. A potential dark horse, and definitely someone to watch.
