One to Watch: Charlie Carrel
Known for often eye-catching attire, aggressive style of play, and a talkative presence at the table, young British pro Charlie Carrel has taken a seat in Amazon Purple.
Over the past couple of years, Carrel has been one of the brightest young stars to emerge on to the poker scene. After cutting his teeth online crushing as "Epiphany77", Carrel switched much of his focus to live poker, where he started dominating almost immediately.
Carrel had his first six-figure score in late 2014, then won EPT Grand Final €25K High Roller for over $1.2 million in 2015. He got another $1 million-plus from a second place finish in a $100K Super High Roller this January and has already piled up 12 six-figure cashes in addition to those two monster scores.
And this is all before he has even hit 24 years of age. We'll keep an eye on Carrel throughout the day to see if he can make the kind of impact on the WSOP Main Event that so many young guns have before him.
