Jack Elwood.

works with his dad and brother in the refrigeration business and has done for nearly 3 years. Only really plays poker in Vegas, I'll be rooming with him.

Wish him the very best of luck from me, please. Always thought he was a great player & a decent sort.

Colin Kennedy.

If I'm not mistaken, Ralphy boy used to be quite well acquainted with Colin.

Not seen him for a good few years now. Hope he is OK.

Colin died about 18 months ago Tony - he'd had a few health problems but it still came as a bit of a shock.

I was hoping one of the Irish guys would write a decent obituary as he had led a very interesting life but couldn't find anything - he was the youngest Cambridge under-graduate of his era at seventeen, was Irish chess champion on several occasions, a top class bridge player, an excellent raconteur with a wicked dry sense of humour, renowned drinker and bon vivant, and of course a tremendous poker player who was a fixture at The Vic for several decades.

He genuinely was one of the good guys and I miss his company for a few glasses of wine and dinner on my occasional visits to London.

I hope this link works but Colin Kennedy is mentioned in passing in the memoir of David Spanier, as he was one of the regulars at the En Passant cafe/chess club in London (which had a poker game running upstairs).

I'd never heard of this book before but from a quick scan it looks like it would be a good read for London poker players of a certain vintage.

I believe Colin was a good friend of Tony Boltons . That's a guy I haven't seen for years and wonder how he is doing

Tony moved out of London to Norfolk around ten years ago iirc - I heard he still pops into The Vic and plays the big PLO game very occasionally although I've not seen him in yonks now.

Are you playing any golf in China, and when are you coming to Nottingham for that game with me Craig? You could combine it with poker at DTD.

Hi Ralph
Yes I play golf in China albeit not as much as I would like to  as it quite expensive .
I am  fortunate as I have made friends with a few PGA pros here who help me out with my game but I really don't practice enough.

Yes we really need to get that game of golf together we have talked about for a few years now, I intend on buying some new irons when I return so could be a good way to ttrythem out .

Mick McCool can usually be spotted up a six foot ladder outside a racecourse, betting in-running.
