Leo Boxell Has the Experience
Australian Leo Boxell has been around the tournament scene here Down Undah for quite some time. He's racked up over AUD$300,000 in career tournament winnings with cashes that date all the way back to 1998. Since then, he's added to his resume every single year.
Boxell just recently moved up over one million in chips and will be hoping to use his on-the-felt experience to capture the title. Although the majority of Boxell's cashes come in Australia or New Zealand, he did finish in the money in the 2007 WSOP Main Event. His only six-figure score came back in 2003 at the Crown Australasian Poker Championships. He placed second behind Peter Costa for over AUD$225,000.
Always within view, Boxell's wife has been eyeing him every step of the way. When the tournament was behind held in the poker room, his wife was only a few feet behind Boxell and watching every hand she could. With Boxell currently seated at the feature table, the closest his wife can get is front row in the auditorium. She's not even seated there, but rather standing pressed up against the glass to get every inch as close as she can.
Lynn had a chat with Boxell about his strong start to the PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final on Day 1B:
