Claims to the inaugural title of Great British Poker Champion witnessed a fresh twist as Roland de Wolfe, Ram Vaswani, Barny Boatman and Joe Beevers announced their entries into £2500+£50 GBPT Grand Final Main Event in association with Gala Casinos, taking place at the Gala Casino Harbourside, Bristol, from November 8 – 11.
Sitting on top of this year’s UK player rankings, with WPT and EPT successes firmly under his belt, Roland de Wolfe proudly flies the flag for ‘Best of British’ along with WSOP bracelet winner, Ram Vaswani, going in mob-handed with fellow pros Barny and Joe.
The news certainly adds extra bite following recent confirmation from US pros Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, Jennifer Tilly, Robert Williamson III and Jamie Gold headed into town to mount an all American assault.
Budding poker players across the country can still follow suit with some of these ‘Best of British’ off the UK pro scene to ensure the inaugural title stays this side of the pond.
