Seat 5: Carl Knox, New Zealand - 180,500 in chips

[user162117]

Hailing from Mount Mauganui, New Zealand, Carl Knox is as passionate for poker as he is about rugby, his wife and two children. For the last four years, the 29-yearold doctor has been honing online and has since been able to make a successful transition into the live format of the game, winning a NZD$550 Turbo No Limit Hold'em side event during the ANZPT Queenstown event in 2010 before final-tabling the APPT Queenstown Main Event this year. During his stay here, Knox has been rooming with fellow Kiwis Sam Williams and Ben Paurini, who'll be cheering him on tomorrow as he returns with 180,500 in chips.
