Another round-up from the World Series of Poker Europe in Rozvadov as a recreational player from France ignores his friend’s advice and wins a bracelet, and Chris Ferguson increases his Player of the Year lead over the chasing group.

When my mates Terry “The Run” Welsh and Gary “The Sleeper” Acreman told me they were making the trek to Dusk till Dawn (DTD) to play in a £1k 6-Handed event, I said they had more chance of finding an orange on a lemon tree.

“Poker is poker,” said Welshy as I tried to explain that he would be competing against some of the best poker players in Britain.

They both made money.
