The World Series of Poker

Jonnie wants to get the ante-natal boys together for a low-stakes game of poker. He claims that he's never played before, which sounds like a hustle to me.

A few weekends ago was the World Series of Poker. The result from this event which blows me away is the guy who came second -- winning a mere $3.5 million -- only started playing poker after going Pro at that silly card game that I play -- Magic. Well done Dave Williams. On top of that, in 8th place, winning a cool $575,000 is Sweden's 2001 Magic National Champion.

If only Vic had let me play more Magic when I was a youngster...

Perhaps our £2 Buy-In Boys Night In session will be the first leg on a $3.5 million poker pay day for me...

...Yeah right.
