Scotsmen, Chinese Food, & Flush Draws

 So the European Tour (poker variety) has reached sunny Barcelona. It’s 8pm one balmy evening in late May and an assortment of the UK’s finest poker players are trotting across the Harbour to the Marina top floor Chinese Restaurant (well, there’s a limit to how much fish you can eat in one week). 

Barcelona World Heads Up

  It’s been a while since I updated the blog, so I thought I’d better make the effort. I’m not running too well at the moment, so to be honest it’s a chore to sound cheerful.
