Paul Maxfield was born on January 29th, 1957 and now lives in
Staffordshire, England - he is divorced with two children. Paul has
been a successful tournament player in Europe for the past ten years
and has only recently started playing tournaments in the United States
- with great results. Maxfield spends his spare time playing golf and
has recently retired from running the company he started with his
brother, which produces pharmaceutical medicines. Paul has earned the
right to retire, with tournament winnings in the past year exceeding
$1.7 million.
Paul Maxfield had two final table finishes in the
2004 WSOP totaling roughly $57,000 and two first place finishes in
European events in 2004 worth about $190,000. These wins can't even
compare to his finish in the $25,000 buy-in WPT Third Annual Five-Star
World Poker Classic, taking second place to Tuan Le and collecting
$1,698,390 for his efforts. Paul Maxfield claims his main ambition in
poker is to win the WOSP Main Event, and with over 24 money finishes in
major tournaments in the past year, the main event bracelet might just
find its home in jolly old Staffordshire.
