$1M win for poker outsider

RANK outsider Tony Jones shocked the poker world by beating TV babe Helen �Hell's Bells� Chamberlain in a heart-stopping finale to the Ladbrokes Poker Millions.

The 42-year-old factory worker, who only took up the game 18 months ago, beat the Soccer AM star on the turn of a card after five hours of nail- biting action in London.

The Romford father-of-three kept his cool in a head-to-head showdown with Helen to walk away with the $1million prize.

He said: �There is no way I am a poker player. I came here thinking I was making up the numbers and to win the competition is overwhelming.�

Helen said: �The pressure was unbelievable.�

Friday's event was the biggest televised poker tournament in Europe.
