While the vast majority of players here at the Bar Poker Open Florida World Championship are from the United States, a maple leaf was spotted on the shirt of one Richard Anderson.

Anderson told PokerNews that he made the journey to the West Palm Beach Kennel Club for the event after qualifying through the Pocket Aces Poker League in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.

Anderson, who has been playing poker for over 40 years was the lone representative of his home club and is looking for a win in the event that would surpass his previous high career poker win of $43,000 when he hit the bad beat jackpot at Seneca Niagara Casino several years ago.
