Update: the bidding is up to $50,000 and Tony G says “don’t touch my bling“.
I have decided that I am going to buy Peter Eastgate’s WSOP Main Event winner’s bracelet. It is currently trading at $16,500 on e-bay and I am going to lead the bidding at $17,500 – I don’t expect any further bids and as I know there are very few people with the heart and courage to...

What a week it’s been in London! I didn’t even recover from the WPT London, I jumped straight into the World Open to work my multi-tasking magic.
Interviews, pictures, being an absolute tweet machine, according to Andrew Robl, who won the Heat 2, actually and before I know it, got so close to fulfilling my Triple Crown dream.
Last week I spoke to Phil Ivey and got some good...
