There is something about "Scandies that make them formidable foes at the poker tables. https://betting.betfair.com/poker/news/10-of-swedens-finest-poker-exports-220814-162.html https://betting.betfair.com/poker/news/10-of-swedens-finest-poker-exports-220814-162.html News Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:37:00 +0100 When I first started playing poker many moons ago, it was the Swedes who were dominating the game. They still do to an extent, but their domination isn't as strong as it once was thanks to the Germans taking over. https://betting.betfair.com/poker/news/the-germans-are-coming-ten-of-the-best-german-poker-players-120814-162.html https://betting.betfair.com/poker/news/the-germans-are-coming-ten-of-the-best-german-poker-players-120814-162.html News Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:42:00 +0100 Mr TM never considered himself the luckiest of poker players but the Betfair Poker regular is thanking the poker gods after scooping an amazing 10,200 euros when claiming the Hand of the Week Jackpot recently. "I was astounded to hit the jackpot - I generally consider myself to be a 'if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all' kind of guy like a lot of poker players no doubt!" said the lucky winner. The money will be spent financing his honeymoon according to the player who has been with Betfair Poker since 2008. "I'm getting married at the end of August and wasn't sure where the spending money for the honeymoon was coming from so this can certainly ease that requirement!" The UK-based winner was attracted to the fact the jackpot was free to enter but never expected to win. "I noticed the hand of the week promotion that was available on the 'Big Win' tables and thought since it didn't cost to enter why not? - had to be worth a go although obviously I never expected to hit the jackpot." Be sure to check out the latest Betfair Poker Promotions to stand a chance of claiming your big money jackpot. https://betting.betfair.com/poker/news/hand-of-the-week-jackpot-winner-takes-home-10k-euros-040814-163.html https://betting.betfair.com/poker/news/hand-of-the-week-jackpot-winner-takes-home-10k-euros-040814-163.html News Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:53:00 +0100
