“I’ll be really disappointed if I come ninth, especially since I’m bringing 50 or 60 people with me – that would be an anti-climax. We’ve been given ninth-place money, so it would be like getting nothing.”

“I’ve never been very good at poker tips,” declares Ross Boatman, “but the way I see it, there are two schools of thought. There’s the Ram Vaswani school of thought. If you play like Ram Vaswani, you’ll win the world in a day. But if you play like Joe Beevers, you’ll never go skint. The rest is up to you.”

The last couple of years have been great ones for the Brits at the World Series of Poker. In fact all that's been missing has been a victory in the Main Event. 22-year-old Sam Holden could be on course to change that though.

Towards the end of October 2009, a mysterious force of nature known as Isildur1 ambushed the high stakes tables at Full Tilt, scattering the regs in his wake.

Playing up to sixteen tables at once, this prolific tournament grinder consistently topped the PocketFives rankings while routinely crushing the biggest tournaments on the internet.

"The old mafia look? I put the TV on one day and everybody looked like me. They all had the shades and the suits on. And apart from that, my young girlfriend decided that I looked better with my hair like this."

We’re not sure whether Cates is a nonchalant genius who is baffled as to why things that come so easy to him should flummox the rest of us, or whether it’s merely the blasé monosyllabism of his generation.

Craig: “I can play a ten-hour tournament day, then go home and play online, whereas I don’t know many 40-year-olds who could do that or even want to do that. Young people also have a lot of free time and time to dedicate to learning the game and putting the hours in”

Antonio Esfandiari

Living in Las Vegas, in my twenties, and having financial freedom, I was really fortunate to do be able to do things that your average guy can’t do. I pretty much maximised the life-vig out of that.
