One of the great things about the UKIPT Isle of Man is that staff from the Rational Group, parent company of PokerStars, get the chance to play against some of the big stars of poker and they don’t come much bigger than Team Online Pro Ike Haxton.
Martin Stuart is one of those staff members playing today and he must have wondered if it was a joy or a curse when he found himself facing off against Haxton in a pot.

The of Schultz was met with a rueful nod of the head from Silver and a slight sigh as he mucked his cards.
