CelebPoker Classic Winner Announced

47 runners assembled at the Rendezvous Casino in Southend. Celebrity poker players mingled with professional poker players and the poker-loving public to see who would win the inaugural CelebPoker Classic.

There was a strong footballing contingent with Teddy Sheringham and Matthew Etherington of West Ham and Simon Davies of Spurs all putting up their �1000 buy-in to pit their skill and luck against the likes of Channel 4 and At The Races pundit John McCririck, Rogue-Trader Nick Leeson and former Eastender Michael Grecco.

One of the first to luck-out was Ron Ainsworth. Ron had previously come an excellent second in the CelebPoker UK Challenge which was held over the August bank holiday in Brighton.

After 4 hours of play, the numbers had been reduced to just 10 players. Out of all the celebrity players only one was left � Matthew Etherington, who had played a very tight game?

Whilst the final 10 battled it out to the finish, a free-roll was being conducted. 12 players had the opportunity to share in the CelebPoker �1000 Texas Hold �Em Free Roll.

Competition was stiff, fierce and full of rivalry! Teddy Sheringham didn�t want to lose to Simon Davies who in turn didn�t want to lose to Nick Leeson who didn�t want to succumb to Chris Brooks, who wanted to beat his best friend Scott Robinson formerly of 5ive! As it turned out, Teddy won a very hard fought competition and won first prize of �600. Chris Brooks of Capital Radio came second winning �300 and Elkan Allan �100 in 3rd spot.
