Poker In The Pub is an outstanding success. My first poker tournament with
them was at the pub where Radio turned up and interviewed people for their
newsbeat bulletin. That night I finished in 2nd place and havent looked
back. I'm currently first in the National Average placings and very much
looking forward to the regional finals in 2 weeks time.
