Lee Davy chews the ear of the Global Poker League, Hendon Mob, American Poker Awards and Socios owner, Alex Dreyfus, on his move from dealing with Paris Aviators and Rome Emperors to Juventus and Paris Saint Germain.

Sometime in 2015/16 as the paperboy slung the morning rag onto the doorsteps of the damned, the CEO settled down for this 50th Alcoholic Anonymous meeting, and an Olympic wannabe, carrying the stench of chlorine picked up her mop, Alex Dreyfus launched Season 1 of the Global Poker League (GPL).

I was an instant fan.

I will always remember Daniel ‘Jungleman’ Cates and Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier going at it heads-up, both miked up, unable to hear what the other was saying, thinking this is the future of poker.
