Global Poker Awards: Little, Moreno, Owen and Veldhuis – the People’s Choice

The poker community has spoken; Jonathan Little, Johnnie Moreno, Brad Owen and Lex Veldhuis make the shortlist for the People’s Choice Award at Friday night’s Global Poker Awards ceremony.

If you think being a professional poker player is an odd way to make a living then how about an Art Crimes Investigator?

That’s the title embossed on the business card of Arthur Brand, who last week, recovered Pablo Picasso’s 1938 masterpiece “Portrait of Dora Maar,” after someone stole it from a yacht moored in the South of France back in 1999.

After a fruitless three-year search, Brand finally found the painting after underworld sources revealed how a businessman had received it as payment for something or other and he didn’t know what to do with it (hang it somewhere, maybe?)
