From crazy man to philosopher

by Simon Dexter Thursday, March 20, 2008

Becoming a millionaire on two continents inside six months is not something many poker players achieve, so hats off to John Tabatabai, often labelled the "craziest poker player in the UK" for his win this week in Swaziland's All Africa Poker Championships. After trousering .06 million at the WSOP* last year, Tabatabai won a million rand last week, a sum which may equate to a rather more modest �62,000, but "a win is a win" as they say.

Playing on tilt

by Simon Dexter Thursday, March 13, 2008
