Just for the record, I am a Canadian! I was born in a place that"s a Provincial capital (Fredericton), but very few in the UK have heard of. As such it has more kudos than being born in say, Toronto or Montreal. Even though I"ve lived in England for most of my life, I still wouldn"t pass Norman Tebbit"s (remember him?) "cricket test". It really is in the blood - although I have no immediate plans to move back.
It"s just occurred to me that this will be the first time I have represented my country, and that it"s a great honour. My only goal is to make sure that I don"t let the team or my country down.
Looking forward to a great tournament & meeting all the combatants accross the felt - and in the bar!
I"ve known Phil, since 2008, from our pub poker days and we have also been to Las Vegas together, where we had a 4 way chop at Binions, with 2 locals for $800. He has a very sound game an will be a very good addition to Team Canada.
