In this week’s Calling the Clock we remind you that Scott Blumstein won the World Series of Poker Main Event but all anybody wanted to do was talk about John Hesp; Patrick Leonard wins three back-to-back monsters, and PokerStars Power-Up looks likely to prevent North Korea from launching a nuclear missile.

The suffocating days and nights of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) are over for another year, after Scott Blumstein, a 25-year old professional poker player from New Jersey, won the $8.15 million first prize, and the new title of Champion. 

It was his only WSOP event of the summer.

He had never before competed in the Main Event.
