The Kid
Featherstone proves he can play with the best.
Amateur Paul Featherstone freerolled his way to his poker dream table. After winning his seat on FullTiltPoker.net, he picked the pros that would play against him for the $120,000 winner-take-all prize. He didn't make it easy for himself. Besides being some of the most accomplished players in the world, Hellmuth, Harman, Matusow, Smith and Sexton are larger-than-life personalities. If Featherstone lets himself to get star struck, he'll trade in his dream table for the rail pretty fast. Featherstone is from Northern California. Along with being an avid online poker player, sometimes grinding through ten hour sessions, he jogs, golfs, and plays basketball. No matter what happens in the tournament, Featherstone is guaranteed to walk away with valuable experience, but the $120K would go a long way towards tuition. Despite the allure of the poker spotlight, he plans to return to college and become a veterinary technician
