Comment: The draft currently relies heavily on poker-related databases. The article contains some grammatical errors and formatting issues (e.g., inconsistent use of capitalization, missing spaces after periods, incomplete sentences). The draft should include more independent, secondary sources that establish Ben Heath's notability, such as interviews, profiles, or coverage in reputable publications.
