A quick look at the leader-board at the European Poker Tour’s London stop has two notable names on it; one near the top and the other near the bottom. The player who is virtually in a tie for the chip-lead is 4-time WSOP bracelet winner John Juanda, who seems to do pretty well in London poker tournaments considering he won the 2008 WSOPE Main Event championship in London. The player near the bottom who will also be the focus of attention is Tom “KingofCards” Marchese, who is battling for the Card Player Magazine Player of the Year award.
Here is a look at the seat assignments and chip counts of the remaining 8 players:
· Seat 1: David Vamplew— 3,670,000
· Seat 2: Thomas Marchese— 1,480,000
· Seat 3: Fernando Brito— 1,100,000
