The Aftermath Of England V Ukraine

that occupies their thoughts today :

Conveniently for Rio Ferdinand, the English media preferred to point the finger of blame for their loss in the Ukraine at the flares that landed on the pitch before the players clarified it was the Man United centre-half’s fault – sort of.

And what of PartyPoker? They’re discussing the

Party Poker World Open

“AK” for those who don’t know means Ace-King, and “10s” means “ten suited”. If you need a hand translating poker-speak we have a guide to poker acronyms that might help. Don’t forget, the folks behind Party Poker also run Party Casino if poker leaves you cold.

To say the poker gods were with Phil Laak would be an understatement as he hit a flush on the river.

Harsh on Funke but that’s poker, our VIP player goes into the round robin heat and Phil progresses to Thursday’s final with heat 1 winner Luke ‘FullFlush1′ Scwartz.

Betfair have a Perfect Star

shining bright for us today -
