Seat 7: Ian Thomson (Basingstoke, United Kingdom) – 1,585,000 chips
Our second international player on this final table, Ian Thomson is a 24-year old Carpenter who has come the way from the United Kingdom to play the ANZPT Repechage Main Event in Melbourne.
He’s making the most of his opportunity after a couple of lucky breaks have gone his way during the tournament, most notably when his pocket sixes caught a backdoor flush to crack Dale Marsland’s pocket jacks, and then when he spiked a set with pocket jacks against Fabian Craib’s kings on the final table bubble.
Whatever happens on this final table, this will be the biggest result in Ian’s poker career.
