Martyn must have just seen how many notifications he's got, from Tony tagging him in selfies on Facebook

He just had to lay down A-K on a 2-4-5 flop after villain set him all-in - he was shown J-J.

He was soon smiling again though, & he's in the money already.

Vanessa Selbst tweeted that she was only just getting into town this weekend, hence why she hasn't made any appearances yet.

"Lot of chops here", Fraser assures the dealer.

"Not after that..."
