Affable Englishman John Hesp has become the talk of the Main Event. The recreational player from Bridlington, U.K., has never played at the WSOP and never even played a large tournament. He has only $2,207 in tournament winnings with all his final table appearances (and his only recorded win) at Napoleon��s Casino & Restaurant in Hull, U.K.
The 64-year-old retired business owner spoke with PokerNews at the afternoon break about his run through the field. He��s been featured on the ESPN2 and PokerGO broadcasts, and has now been moved to the feature tables. What has it been like adjusting to the bright lights and cameras?
��I��ve no problem with the broadcast tables, the problem I��ve got is the shortness of the breaks,�� he says. ��There��s no time to do anything really.��
Hesp��s amazing run is now garnering plenty of attention with media interviews a regular part of his break schedule. He��s had a great run of cards over the few hours, and now sits on just over 9 million chips after some big hands and shrewd play.
��I��ve been really riding hot,�� Hesp says. ��I started pretty weak. I went down and now I��ve come back again.��
