The Al Gore of Poker

Gary "The Choirboy" Jones may not be a familiar name with our American readers, but over here in England he is a popular figure, both as a poker player and as a commentator.

Gary has always been a chatty, amicable personality among the poker scene, but recently he has startled a few onlookers with his bright green hair. When I inquired about his new Riddler-esque hairdo, the reply was a surprising one:

"I'm actually trying to create a bit of awareness about climate changes and global warming," commented Gary, "so any online commentary you can give me on the topic would be most welcomed."

Your wish is my command Gary, and although you look admittedly ridiculous at this point in time, I commend your efforts in using poker as a base of raising social awareness, much like the Ante Up For Africa event that we witnessed last night.

Poker-wise, Gary is actually playing in today's HORSE event, running well with 16,000. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get my mitts on a picture of Gary and his sparkling barnet, but watch this space.
