This 23-year-old from New Zealand��s North Island is one of poker��s true believers. He��s a real student of the game, and loves talking hands and poker folklore at every opportunity. Just about to wrap up a business management course, Honeybone��s poker education is also coming along in leaps and bounds.
After cashing for more than $80,000 in the 2006 Barcelona Poker Classic, he has continued that solid form with cashes in the 2007 NZ Poker Championships and the 2007 Victorian Poker Championships. He��s also etched a permanent mark in the APPT record books by winning the first tournament ever held as part of the new tour: the PHP5000 Manila Cup at last month��s APPT event in the Philippines. His girlfriend Jacqui will be the first to congratulate him if he gets over the line.
