Dunno if you caught this last year, but its very good television. A group of Poker players are whittled down to one winner who takes the whole pot of £1m. There are cameras under the table, and you really get into the tension of it, and just how courageous or outrageous their bluffs are.

Is that a tournament in England or is that the World Series of poker from Las Vegas?

Its in London, the Poker Million Masters. For some reason Steve Davis is competing, alongside David Cleary, Bruno Fitoussi, Roy Brindley, Dave Ulliott and Mike Magee.

Steve Cucumber Davis is actually in second now, plays Poker just as he does Snooker, defensively, playing percentages, staying in the game. He's got by far the lowest heartbeat too, at rest 58!

Steve just played a massive bet and won the hand off of the leader, a £250k pot, to take the top spot. Don't think much of the other Poker players. Mike Magee has now taken second, getting very competitive, big bets and big bluffs.

Steve Davis goes for the throat against his weaker opponent, who doesn't even try and play the hand, just folds. It looks a certain win for Steve Davis, but they're playing with such large money, a million in chips between them, that its taking time to take every last chip off this Poker player. I'd like to think that it was a set up, and that Steve cheated, but he didn't, he just played better poker. Its gonna take a lot of nerve for a fightback now.

Steve Davis has just outplayed every pokeer player, and won the Million, calling the Roy "The Boy" Brindley's huge all in bluff in the heads-up. The rest of 'em should go back to their day job. <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />
