There has been much discussion over the past few days after William Kassouf won the EPT Prague 10k High Roller; following a deal with Patrick Serda that awarded more money to Patrick and the title and trophy for Will. I would like to offer my version of the events and some of my own thoughts.…
Details“The Aussie Millions is amazing and you should go.” – Max Silver I’ve been meaning to go to the Aussie Millions for a few years now, yet I’ve always found an excuse. It’s too far, it clashes with PCA and don’t forget the MASSIVE SPIDERS. None of these really held water and when the PCA…
DetailsWell a bunch of stuff has happened since I last updated; the most major being that I am now a married man! The wedding was the most amazing day and truly the best day of my life. On the poker side of things I’ve had a bunch of big cashes, including my first profitable WSOP…
DetailsHey Everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update, I’m currently the chip leader with 22 left in the EPT Prague Main Event. I’ve had a rollercoaster couple days and now I’m in a great spot to go really deep. Will hopefully be updating this in a couple days with a winners photo! Thank…
DetailsAs I was lying in bed last night watching Phil Galfond videos on RunItOnce I thought to myself “I should really have to justify my plays more.” Too often I find myself making a play that I don’t really have any (at least in real time) justified reasoning for.

DetailsLate last month I made the fateful decision to embark on a Movember journey throughout the month of November. For those not familiar with Movember; it’s an annual month long event to raise awareness for male health issues, specifically: prostate, testicular cancer and mental health. During November men, starting off clean shaven, “donate their face” by growing a mustache.
For as long as I’ve known him my father, Dan, has rocked a mustache that would put Tom Selleck to shame. I’ve never been a particularly hairy guy and after the first few days it was obvious that the attempt to grow was futile.
DetailsLast weekend I flew to Douglas, Isle of Man for the inaugural UKIPT Isle of Man festival. Despite busting early on day 2 of the Main Event I had a very successful weekend, winning the £2,200 High Roller for £20,800 and coming 7th in the £165 PLO for £420.
Combine this with a very successful UKIPT Galway and I am now in contention for the UKIPT Player of the Year leaderboard. The overall winner of the leaderboard will be awarded packages for every single stop of UKIPT Season 5.
DetailsA few days ago I got 2nd place in the UKIPT London High Roller for £59,906, losing to Vanessa Selbst headsup. I wrote an article describing my final table over at the Full Tilt Poker Blog In the very first hand of heads-up play I got A8s in the big blind; Vanessa min-raised and I…

One of my biggest passions outside of poker is food and I end up applying a lot of the same principles to food and cooking as I do poker. I find cooking fun, I think the more I cook the better I’ll get and I even watch training videos!
I know in my last blog post, Shots at the Highstakes Part 1, I promised I would do a part 2 very soon; however my desire to blog is a very fickle thing and I figure let’s just roll with what my heart wants to write, tonight that happens to be the Irish Open and some PLO hands.
