A little earlier than planned but it is with great pleasure that i would like to announce the 3 players joining me to try and bring the Gold back to England:
Dwayne Stacey
Dwayne started playing poker in August 2004. He has back to back cashes in the WSOP main event finishing 97th in 2008 and 113th in 2009. Other marquee events he has played include the Aussie millions, the EPT grand final in Monte Carlo as well as a 27th place finish at ept Budapest in 2008.
Online he"s final tabled 4 Sunday majors and is also a UKICOOP winner. He started playing APATs in 2013 with the season 7 Wembley masters where he finished 2nd. He won the season 7 Cardiff cash tour and was the season 7 overall cash tour champion.
Dwayne also comes into this competition with a bit of form, recently winning the season 8 European Plo8 side event and also finishing 2nd in the European NLHE side event both in Coventry.
Dwayne was very keen to play and represent England in this, he brings a wealth of live experience to the team and a winning mentality.
Liam Crawford
Liam also comes into this with a bit of form winning the Irish Online Main Event last Sunday.
He also won the Champion of Champions event last year at Stratford on the back of winning the European Online 2014 Main. His other APAT results include a 4th in the Six Max event at the 2011 World Championships, a 5th place finish in the 2012 European Championship Main Event, 5th place in the 2013 Apat World Championships in the Heads Up Championship and a 3rd last year in the World Championships High Roller event.
Liam can regularly be found grinding the 180 man sit n go"s online, other online achievments include being ranked number one by sharkscope for 9 months at PLO and his highest cash online was for $47,400 for 4th/2,000 in $100r FTOPS.
Liam brings some much needed SNG experience to the team and is comfortable playing Holdem or Omaha.
Jon Seal
Jon adds versatility to the team, he regularly plays and prefers Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo to Holdem. With two of the rounds including these games his edge in them could prove vital.
