Tales From the Rail - Part III

The Ibiza Angels are sadly missing at today's final table, but fear not, as poker veteran and former bracelet winner Willie Tann is on hand to offer his services. Neil Channing seems to be his main target today, Willie providing the Irish Open champion with what appears to be a high quality massage. Who knows, if the Ibiza Angels are lacking in numbers tomorrow, then perhaps Willie will step up to the plate to showcase his new found skills. Whether he'll be able to do justice to the skimpy masseuse outfits however, only time will tell.
