Pokerstars.com London EPT: Final Day - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Howdy ho, peeps, and welcome to the final day of this year's London EPT. With John Shipley, Mark Teltscher and Vicky Coren triumphing in previous years, the pressure lies heavily on the shoulders of Ian Cox as our only remaining flag flier looking to continue the British domination of this event. However, something tells me that Mr Crapper, as he is affectionately known is some quarters, will be more concerned about the €600k plus up for for grabs rather than aiding any nonconstructive record.

I actually spoke to Ian after last night's events, and although he was admittedly enjoying his 4th or 5th beer, he seemed high in spirits and eager to continue the scorching hot run he has been on over the last year or two. So soon after finalling in the GUKPT in Plymouth, Ian finds himself at a final yet again, and a highly lucrative one to boot - not bad for a guy who only plays live occasionally.

A sports better by trade, Poole's Ian Cox is married with five kids, so is much more inclined to frequent the online tables, but when he does hit the live scene, he is lethal, and his records back up this claim. "Because I don't play particularly often," he says, "I feel I come in focussed and can really play my 'A' game. I leave all the sports betting behind, because I want to insure I make an investment on my money. Actually, the only problem with running well is that the wife expects you to bring something home every time you're away."

I'm sure everyone here at blonde, myself included, will be wishing Ian the very best of luck, but it won't be easy. His final table companions might not be the most famous of crews, but they are certainly threatening, my pick at the start of the day, Marcel Baran, being a dangerman worth highlighting.

Please pass on my good luck wishes to Ian:

In my time playing poker in the UK i was fortunate enough to play in tournaments with Ian a couple of times, one of the nicest, most genuine person  your ever likely to meet.

I really hope he takes this one down.

Good Luck Ian.
