Deadman Most Certainly Alive and Kicking
Simon Deadman has only been in Las Vegas for four days and he already has his first WSOP cash of the series. Anyone who follows British poker will not be surprised at all by that fact. For those of you who are not so clued up on poker in the UK, let us tell you a bit about Mr Deadman.
Deadman cut his teeth in the poker world by grinding the low-to-medium buy-ins at the Nottingham-based Dusk Till Dawn poker club. It was here that Deadman had his first five-fogue score, ￡24,684 to be exact, when he won the DTD monthly ￡300 tournament in 2011. One month later, Deadman finished third in a ￡1,000 buy-in GUKPT Main Event for an additional ￡21,930.
If you check out Deadman's live tournament results, you will discover they are littered with five-figures score. The largest of which tops the scales at €67,500, his reward for winning the World Poker Tour National Dublin Main Event in January 2013. We would not be the slightest bit surprised if Deadman banked his first six-figure score here in Las Vegas; Deadman would have to finish fifth or higher to do that in this event.
