Yeah they all carry over the same chip stacks.
James was good at pool, he played during the days of Doug Gordon's Tour and put some really good results in.
He always loved his gambling though - he used to play £20-£50 coin tosses with So Shaw and anyone else who liked a punt!

Yes ... I remember a few of those in Basildon after a few beers. Ace is high lowest takes on the turn of a card and it cost me a few quid but all good fun

Thx so much Chris for all the updates. Also thx to everyone for all the support! The last 10 days of my life have been a gruelling stamina test. However I did play the best poker I ever and only got lucky once (not bad for ten days poker and getting unlucky a h ell of a lot more). Making the final is such a massive acomplishment and to do it off the back of my result last year is quite unreal. Although the short stack at the final I will be going on to it with the intention of coming 1st and be full of confidence. Cheer me on in Nov, I'll be doing it for England!

James is being titled now as a "November Niner" as he is one of the nine players who will be battling for the prestigious WSOP Gold bracelet (and a tonne and a half of cash) later in the year... Can't believe I have to watch Poker News to catch up on his whereabouts nowadays! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DnfmBRZqQo
