This may have been posted before but it seems an Granddad from Brid is through to the final table of the Poker World Series.
He usual plays a £10 tournament in Hull apparently but is now guaranteed at least $1m and is in with a chance of the $8m top prize!

British professional poker player Paul Jackson, a WSOP veteran who was in Las Vegas for some of the earlier tournaments, said: "It's so rare and difficult for someone of his limited ability to do so well.
"To get through such a large field... it's a freak occurrence that's unlikely ever to be repeated."
He added: "He seems like a really nice bloke; a good winner and a good loser. It lets people know you don't have to act like a sulky teenager like some of the players do.
"I think it's absolutely fantastic. It's great for poker.
"I hope he goes on to win it."
