"Badbeat.com is helping me achieve my potential by giving me the financial backing and mentoring. I'm already playing some of the best games on a nightly basis."

Davie continues by expressing his gratitude to his Badbeat.com mentor Darren Hedley, "My mentor had a big part to play in my score, as I was having a tough time at the tables leading up to this result, but he kept reassuring me my luck would change sooner rather than later. His belief in me really helped me focus on playing and not just being results orientated."
