One of the real Stars of UK poker that many of you will never have heard of
Mathew Frankland was first introduced to poker by some friends when he was 16. By the time he started attending the University of Leeds, he had aspirations of turning pro. By the end of his first year, he was making enough to justify the move and soon began his pro career.
Mathew first started as a cash game player and eventually transitioned to tournaments. The move proved profitable as he has won over $2.29 million in online tournaments.
Mathew’s online experience has translated into live tournament success. In 2010, he recorded his first six-figure score at English Poker Open in London after finishing 3rd and earning $119,409. In 2011, he made a deep run at the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event and finished in 121st.
Mathew has $488,741 in live tournament earnings.
Mathew recently revealed in interviews that he has begun to focus more on online cash games as he believe there is a larger edge there for good players.
Rob is a big Man City fan from, you'd never guess, Manchester
Rob has been a very successful online player for over a decade, primarily in SNGs then branching out. Big volumes, a lot of grinding and a tremendous work ethic
Rob qualified for the Irish Open in 2010, finished 4th for six figures and won the "sole survivor" promotion, a "last longest" of all the online qualifiers into that massive event

Does it involve making something? As in a physical object.
