After my 2004 semi final at Austria In 2005 I won entry to the players Club annual tournament by qualifying via their ocean players club and won the 2005 players club Championship.

An exciting start to titles. In 2006 I was invited back to defend my title and again took home 1st

This was unfortunately the end Of PL championship as the following year this was no longer held. I soon discovered as well as Cruise tournaments and land Tournaments which occur mostly in the U.S the birth of several online tournament sites bought a wealth of new titles and prizes in my direction.

It was in early 2007 introduced to the World Of Elimination Blackjack the latest TV craze to be sweeping the States, With an online Version which has avoided the fate of many other sites under new laws. Here I started to regularly play with some of the biggest names in Blackjack and poker And Pushed on by some of these legend names my quest to conquer the world had began.

Upon returning to Vegas after my first UBT land event at Barona I was invited to UBT's offices on the launch day of Russ Hamilton's new site www.clububt.com my idea to have a UBT Cruises with Blackjack Tournaments onboard as well as poker and joined with Euro players from PKR this was implemented and was an amazing experience which become a 4 times a year event.

After the Barona trip I returned to Vegas in July to take part in the Venetian's 2007 tour stop.
Here my dream of being on a UBT televised final was to become reality years before I could have ever imagined of making a televised final table. After 4 grueling rounds that lasted a whole day and saw me fighting off the likes of Robert Blackman and 2 separate rounds playing alongside UBT champion Monica Reeves, both of us went through in both rounds, Making way for me to play alongside this great lady again in the final which she went on to win.


Friendships were forged not just with the Queen Of UBT and now best friend Monica but with many other UB Stars, Hollywood Dave, Blair Rodman, Annie Duke, Phil Helmuth, Freddie Deeb, Krazy kanuck (Jim Worth), Robert Williamson III, Kenny Einiger, Renee Aglini (Celine Dion other half), Russ Hamilton well the list just goes on!

Late 2008 see's me making news on poker as I gradually edge up PKR's world rankings to around 100th out of 50,000 odd players.

With me regularly final tabling in some of the biggest tourneys including a Wsop seat and missing pkr Live on the bubble.

A great End to 2008 saw me win in the poker Royal Monthly Cruise final with no rebuys and no add ons - And coming 1st at the main event netting over $100k in total

2009 PKR SKY Sat in from $5 wining 3 levels to get a $13,000 final chance seat for the PKR Mega heads up broadcast on sky TV over 3 days - Winning £120k
