My mate enjoyed the run of his life this week and fell just short of the final table. Chip leader with 13 left and ten minutes later he is out in two hands coming 2 nd in a race and then AQ v AK. We were both devastated as I had just looked at flights out to Madrid from Luton airport. Poker can be such a cruel game at times yet we keep going back for more punishment. I am really proud of Simons achievement and hope it's the first of many. Scunthorpe is a little town with population of 50k yet we have some good players in.... Luke chubb10 marsh, chris loschief saleh, and simon1471 Higgins. Whilst it's not Cody eames pez etc we don't do bad for a lower league team

The first ever EPT Champion of Champions Event takes place today in Madrid. This special invitational event will pitch the Main Event champions of EPT Seasons 1-7 against each other in a special freeroll – for the chance to win up to €50,000 worth of EPT Season 8 event buy-ins. In all, four EPT "Passports" will be given away – to the top four finishers – amounting to a grand total of €100,000 worth of buy-ins.

We think that the smart money will be on a British player in this event, as they make up around 10% of the field and are in fine form at the moment. Here is the list of British players eligible for the EPT Champion of Champions Event.

John Shipley
Ram Vaswani
Mark Teltscher
Roland de Wolfe
Vicky Coren
Sky Poker's Julian Thew
Will Fry
Jake Cody
Liv Boeree
Toby Lewis
David Vamplew
Roberto Romanello
Rupert Elder

The event will be streamed live on PokerStars.tv.

Do we now have to refer to Julian Thew as Sky Pokers Julian Thew?
