"I bluffed it off to be honest,"The Londoner has been playing poker for four years, but having only recently switched to tournaments this is his first Main Event. Only time will tell if today proves to be 'beginners' luck.

Great to see these tournaments going on in the UK and its nice to see such a healthy amount of entries as well. Love the chip leaders quote that he is 'a fish on a heater', good luck to him and to all those left in
LeL at Fakiry, there is no need to find conspiracies everywhere in life, this tour is older than that party anyway. And that party just got rused at the elections so no need to be mistifying them...
