As you would expect during this time of year, it is the World Series of Poker (WSOP) that is dominating the headlines not only on the PokerNews.com global site but on its many sub-domains, the UK & Ireland included.
Until this week, British and Irish grinders had a number of near misses, including Marc MacDonnell finishing as runner-up in Event #6, Iaron Lightbourne doing the same in Event #12 where Craig McCorkell finished in fifth place, Ben Dobson (Event #13) and Adam Owen (Event #17) busting in third place in their respective events, and Stuart Rutter (Event #18) coming in fifth.
