Harrison Going for Gold Again
One player who has become quite a fixture in the No-Limit events the first few weeks of the 2019 WSOP is Audley Harrison. Harrison, a gold medal-winning boxer in the super-heavyweight division when he represented Great Britain in the 2000 Olympics, became the first-ever British boxer to take home Olympic gold in that weight class.
While Harrison's name might not yet be widely-known in the poker community, there is definitely a connection to one of the more well-known poker players. Harrison trained Big One for One Drop winner Antonio Esfandiari for his boxing match with Kevin Hart, which Esfandiari ultimately won.
Harrison had gold placed around his neck 19 summers ago and will be hoping to have gold placed on his wrist this year at the 50th annual World Series of Poker.
