PokerStars has once again jumped into bed with CARE International, this time to help provide aid to those affected by Hurricane Irma and Beat the Clock goes into the bin. 

We all enshrine our first whirlpool in cellular celluloid. You’re in the bath sucking the water out of a plastic dolphin. Mum pulls the plug. It’s mesmeric, magical, magnificent.

When I look at satellite photos of Hurricane Irma, that’s where my mind takes me. To a time of tranquillity, calm, and wrinkled fingers and toes. There is something beautiful about it, and yet it killed over 80 people, injured hundreds, and left thousands without a roof over their head.

It was a reminder of the power of mother nature.
