Matas Cimbolas Wins the Sky Poker UK Poker Championships High Roller

The UK-based Lithuanian, Matas Cimbolas, is the new Sky Poker UK Poker Championships High Roller winner, after defeating Andy Bacon in heads-up action in Dusk till Dawn.

A lot of people like Dusk till Dawn (DTD).

That’s why it wins the Best British Card Room award, at the British Poker Awards, every single year.

But Matas Cimbolas REALLY likes it.

The UK-based Lithuanian was unheard of until Nov 2014, when he walked away with the £200,000 first prize at the World Poker Tour (WPT) UK Main Event at DTD.

I watched him closely during that event. At no time did I think he would make a ripple. To me, he was another Muggle hoping for a little bit of magic. He got it. He won the whole goddam thing.

A one hit wonder?
