Eames is a well-known British player who many pros predict will be a future winner of a major event. Eames turned pro nearly four years ago and originally played mainly online, although he has now switched his focus almost entirely to live tournaments.
Eames has had a great Season 7 so far �C winning the EPT Vienna �2k event in October for �123,500, and chopping the EPT Barcelona �2k event with fellow finalist Michael Tureniec in November, earning �78,300. Despite playing around 13-14 EPTs, however, this is his first Main Event cash. ��I was pretty short around the bubble and thought a min-cash was likely but it picked up,�� he said. ��It��s great to make a final. All I do now is live events�� I like the atmosphere and there��s more prestige if you win. ��
