Philip Hilm made an EPT final table in Copenhagen and ran deep in the EPT grand final in Monte Carlo this year.

Hevad "rain" Khan- Famous for his multitabling of SNG's on stars, but actually got totally owned in higher stakes sng's and dropped a bomb. Apparantly has a solid record in online MTT's

Lee Watkinson is a name you know if you watched lots of TV poker, finished 2nd in 2 WPT and has a WSOP bracelet in Pot Limit omaha, he is definitley the live pro of this final table.

Alex Kravchenko- Is a name i know but im not sure why, after a bit of digging he has a very good WSOP 07 winning a bracelet in omaha hi lo and a final table in HORSE.

The rest are unknowns.

I played with Jon up in Blackpool at one of their festivals last year and he was one of the nicest guys at the table. A real gent and great fun too.

He would be a fantastic ambassador for the whole of poker.

Take it down Jon......just getting there is awsome......

What can I say that has not already been said. I have had the pleasure of meeting this guy on a number of occasions and he really kcked off my game about 5 years ago after chatting to him at a live game about strategy and then via Email.
He is a super agressive player (a strategy that has been criticised if you read pokerplayer reports of day 6) who will be very hard to handle at the final table. I believe he knows how to play this situation, will have super guidance from the team supporting him and will play a fearless game. I really believe he deserves being bookies favourite and I for one will be immensely proud if he takes this one down.
I will be cheering for you the whole way.....Do this one for the Brits Jon, may the poker gods shine on you, all your luck be good and your pots be monsters.
