Put the kettle on, break open those hob nobs, and settle down for a week of poker news covering the British Poker Awards, closure of French poker clubs, fights to legalize online poker in the U.S, talk of cheats, and a young man from the Bronx who is smashing it.

We start our round up at the British Poker Awards (BPA). Victoria Coren-Mitchell was the biggest winner. She was nominated for three awards. She picked up all three.

“If anyone asks I am wearing TKMaxx.” She tweeted with glee.

Her victories in the categories of Best Social Media User, Personality of the Year and Performance of the Year, means she has now won a total of six awards in the past five years. That ties with Sam Trickett as the most successful BPA winner of all time.

Trickett wasn’t nominated for a single award in 2014 – the first time that has ever happened. So what did he do whilst everyone else was enjoying a free glass of Ranking Hero flavored champagne?

He crashed his £275,000 Ferrari.

Don’t sweat it though.
