European Poker Tour Vilamoura: Toby Lewis as chip leader
Four glorious days of competitions happened in Vilamoura, Portugal at the European Poker Tour (EPT). At the end of this 4 th day, an online player, Briton Toby Lewis found himself leading the tournament with the biggest stack. The first success of Lewis in a live tournament back in 2009 during a tournament of £ 200 of buy-ins held in Brighton. Since then he accumulated a gain of $ 171,669 including two cash in the EPT circuit. The second player in good position for a British victory is in the name of Sam Trickett, who holds the second biggest stack. Trickett is also known in the poker world through his many live tournaments cash received during the last three years reaching $ 1.33 million.
His good performance at the World Series of Poker 2008 (WSOP) during which he finished in fourth place at the $ 5,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em earned him an excellent price of $ 245,927. At the 41th edition of this world championship poker, he again repeated his feat by cashing in $ 505,725 for his second place at the same event. Teddy Sheringham is in the third position. After a successful career in the world of footbal, we must say that he is also a formidable poker player. His 14th place finish at the WSOP Europe 2009 marked forever his career as a poker pro and let him earn a prize of $ 66,738. Of course, other talented players are also among the favorites for this tournament to name the former EPT grand final champion Rob Hollink.
