Chomping at the Bit

We've lost quite a few pros recently, but I did spot a familiar face in amateur British player Graham 'Chompy' Wheldon. He is a regular at the Luton G Casino just outside Luton, but decided to broaden his horizon and venture across the pond towards the City of Sin.

He's experienced a slice of good fortune today though, having doubled through with jacks versus queens, all in on a 6-6-4 flop with a third knave arriving on the river.

A few rounds later he surpassed the 20,000 mark, his kings holding up against queens. At time of writing though, he has lost a couple of minor pots and is now hovering around 18,000.
