huge congratulations james and GL at the final table.  i had a bit of a sweat since had bet on mr akenhead at 6/1 to be highest out of 6 UK players (roland, channing, marty smyth and couple of others).  obviously thought bet was dead since roland binked 2 FTs and 400k in winnings but then saw james was deep and figured needed 18th or better to close.  ty!

I couldn't make that vid work either, but here's one that does work, from Day 5 when he was CL for a while:

http://tv.pokernews.com/featured-videos/James+Akenhead+-+Chip+Leader+for+the+moment/29230979001

Seems like a good lad. Must be weird tho, 4 months of building up to the FT, and it could all be over in a few hands. Hope he goes the distance tho, obviously.

I assume no Brits have ever won the Main Event, but what's the highest finish, anyone know?
