Brendan Wiley (Glouchester, MA) |
They've been talked about at length, but there are always a few that slip through the cracks for one reason or another, but eventually we get to all of them as after a handful of events we like to put some new, fresh faces on the blog.
One player who is new to the Foxwoods blog for this series is Brendan Wiley (Glouchester, MA) but Wiley is certainly not new to the Foxwoods Poker community, as he's a daily grinder with some decent tournament results to boot.
Wiley has just over $100,000 in live tournament earnings to his name, with nearly all of his "big" scores coming at Foxwoods.
His biggest came in 2012 when he Final Tabled the Foxwoods Poker Classic Championship, earning just under $30,000 and he's continued to churn out deep runs since, notching five Final Table appearances over the last two years.
The last few years haven't just seen success come at Foxwoods though, as Wiley cashed in his first WSOP Main Event this past summer, recording a top 500 finish making just over $25,000.
For all the success Wiley's had leading up to this series, including making two deep runs at the Borgata Winter Poker Open, he's yet to breakthrough here in the Card Player Poker Tour, something he'll look to do here in Event 9.
Wiley will also be a player to watch in tomorrow's Day 1 of the $300,000 GTD CPPT Main Event as he's proven himself in both Foxwoods and WSOP championship events in the past.
