Player from Britain - James Akenhead

James might have less chances of winning World Series of Poker 2009 Main Event but he is not a player to be underestimated. He has been publicized as one of the best players of the tournament and has the chance of winning the tournament. He really struggled hard and last year he reached closer to winning the golden bracelet. He was playing against the single opponent i.e. Grant Hinkle in $1,500 NLH event.

But it seemed that the luck was not with him and his A-K was no match against Grant’s 10-4. He finished off in the second position along with $520,219. Now, he has the chances of making changes if he is able to make an enhancement in his small stack of 6,800,000. He said that it feels like he is dreaming and he added that he told one of his friends that he will not be doing good in further events. But he managed to pull out something intended for the main.

Keeping everything apart he has the loudest group to extend their support and according to him it really helped him in making to the November Nine. He cherished all the people who supported him. He said that he feels pity for all those players who will be winning but there will nobody to cheer them. He again mentioned all the people who supported him and said that really it helped him.
