Pasta Antonius

Very tasty, Or so my wife thinks
Very tasty, Or so my wife thinks
If you ever wondered what a poker phenomenon eats to keep his game at the highest level, well then wonder no further. Finish poker superstar Patrik Antonius enjoys nothing more than a heaping great bowl of Spaghetti Bolognese whilst terrorizing his opponents at the table.

Beevers and Cascarino Tangle

Former Republic of Ireland Footballer Tony Cascarino was the chip leader of and interesting table that also featured Ian Woodley, Joe Beevers and Surinder Sunar. That was until a blind-on-blind battle with Beevers saw all the money go in on the turn with the board showing,

{J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {10-Clubs}

Cascarino reluctantly called the Beevers shove and turned over {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} and Beevers showed {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} and with no improvement on the river Beevers' winning full house moved his stack to 15,000 and set Cascarino back to 12,000

Someone call Guinness

He's still getting a massage and looks to be trying to set a record for the first player to win a poker tournament while getting a massage throughout every blind level.

He needs to improve his game however as he's lost most of those 30,000 chip and is back down to his starting stack.

The Hottest Seat in London

Crikey! Who wants who wants to swap seat?
Crikey! Who wants who wants to swap seat?
Definitely belongs to the occupant of seat 8 Table 21 the Victoria casino. The big stack who has just been moved to this spot faces a murders row to his right, Roland De Wolfe, Liz Lieu and Daniel Negreanu. This has not stopped him getting involved with Negreanu, With 3,000 in the pot on the turn and a board of

{2-Clubs} {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {5-Spades}

Negreanu checks and the big stack bets 1,300, Negreanu then re-raises to 3,500 and big stack calls. River is the {5-Clubs} and Negreanu bets 5,000 and the big stack folds. Negreanu now sitting nicely on 20,000

"Ahh that's feels great!"

We took this photo 40 minutes ago, then a half hour later he was still getting a massage and it seemed to be doing his chipstack a lot of good.

On a {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board he moved all in on the river for over 10,000 into an 8,000 pot and after a minute put the clock on his opponent who then called.

{J-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for the man in the massage chair for the nut straight who moves his stack up to over 30,000.
