Father Eddie finished 22nd out of 2368 in one of the 1500 NLHE events at the Rio. Son Daniel, a high stakes cash player, then won a bracelet and $446k, in the WSOP Omaha8 championship. A week later he finished 4th to Greg Mueller in a championship LHE event at the series. Eddie made a final table at the Bike in December before Daniel won the WPT ME at the Bellagio for $1.4m.

Son Daniel was on hand to see his father win the $545 NLHE. He looked thrilled and was included in the winners photo. 296 players entered the event which was overlooked in favour of the Stud8 tournament which played out side by side.

Jamie will have plenty of advice today as he is the son of Full Tilt pro  Ben Roberts. He is also a member of Neil Channings team at BlackBelt poker. Jamie won nearly $40k in an event back in London last year.

i noticed double bracelet winner Daniel Alaie watching the latter stages of a tournament a few days ago. His father was playing and finished 22nd. Daniel said his father has been playing for a while but just low limit poker not the nosebleed games that his son plays in.j-roberts
