Ha, if it were a Caption Comp you'd have scooped 1st prize.

Agreed.

Mind you, 1st prize is normally £0. So award yourself a virtual £0

Clue

Many of you may have sat with the player in question at SPT Grand Final Manchester, which he eventually won

But why "topical"?

His name is Andy Taylor, & he won the SPT Manchester Grand Final in November 2019.

At time of writing, he had 25 million chips & was sitting 7th of 36 in the WSOP Main Event, which had 8,663 entries & for which 1st prize is $10,000,000.

With about $260k already locked up, I would expect the answer is yes

GB actually have 3 of the Top 10 - John Eames, Philippe Souki & Andy Taylor.

John Eames was a huge winner around 10 or 15 years ago, & has 2 or 3 EPT wins to his credit.

I don't know Phillipe Souki, but Mr Channing @NChanning tells me he is a Vic regular, so maybe @Essexphil knows him.

Andy Taylor won the SPT Grand Final in November 2019.

With 3 Brits in the Top 10, the GB has a real chance. Not to get too excited, but a GB win might just produce a domestic version of the "Moneymaker Moment".

Imagine winning the $10,000,000 then having to complete an affordability check to play $109 on Stars.

...which COULD happen.

At least he can now afford to get the other arm done....oh & some Lynx...😆

Usually when some Brits go deep I have zero idea who they are but this time I've played with all three of them and I know John quite well. I don't go in the Vic very often these days but I feel like every single time I've been in there in the last few years Philippe has been there. A really good player with a funny sense of humour plus he is extremely well mannered and has a great temperament. I just saw the ICM values of the stacks. If they did a chop now and all took the value of their chips John would get $1.5m, Andy would get $1.6m and Philippe would get $2m. Fun day coming up for them.

Here's those ICM values @NChanning mentioned;







Refer to this for the players who have those stack sizes;
