Lee Davy lets sentimentality get the better of him as he asks the World Series of Poker to consider moving their European festival around the more poker playing communities in Europe.

Gary is in his 50s. He loves poker. Before people start playing Tombstone Hold’em on his gravestone he wants to compete in a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event. He can’t fly. His back is shot to bits, just like his dream.

The WSOP held its first bracelet event, outside of the US, in 2007. London’s Leicester Square was the venue. Thomas Bihl won the first-ever non-US bracelet, and Annette Obrestad broke the record for the youngest-ever winner when she won the Main Event at 18 years, 364 days young.

The series was deemed a success. Poker players from all over the world ate fish and chips until 2010. A partnership with Groupe Lucien Barriere saw the series move to Cannes in 2011; it stayed there for one more year before moving to Paris in 2013.
