Lowball to Horse

[user4144]

Still in this HORSE tournament is veteran poker player Eric Dalby. The name Eric Dalby hasn't achieved worldwide notoriety, but over here on English shores he established himself as a fearsome player when he rose triumphant in the inaugural Ladbrokes Poker Cruise a few years back.

Nicknamed "Lowball" online, I have actually played this amicable chap a few times on the Omaha/8 cash tables, but as his name suggests, Lowball is clearly his field of expertise. In fact, back in 1994, he became the British Lowball Champion and continues to play the game whenever he can.

However, Lowball is undoubtedly a dying game, and one that wasn't resurrected by the HORSE event. But Eric surely holds a passion for the old-school games, not to mention the skills which have attributed to the Londoner reaching what is now the bubble in this event.

Eric is currently sitting on 65,000, with a great shot of making the final table.
