It has been a big week for British poker players, thanks to them securing victories in both the live and online poker worlds, and the UK & Ireland PokerNews Round-Up has all of the details.
James Akenhead, a former World Series of Poker November Nine member, took a couple of years away from poker to focus on business ventures, but recently returned and picked up where he left off, going deep in major live tournaments. In late 2015, Akenhead finished third in the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Grand Final for £72,500 and followed that result up with another third-place finish a week later, this time in the €2,150 Eureka Prague turbo tournament for €31,780.
