A REGULAR at a friendly Upton poker night narrowly missed out on the chance to play for £10,000 in Las Vegas.
Anthony Allen came fourth in the national finals of Poker in the Pub, missing out on the dream trip by just a place.
Mr Allen qualified for the event after he started playing for fun on Tuesday nights in the King's Head.
The Waterside pub starts its next poker league this Tuesday at 7.30pm, and anyone is welcome to join in. There is no charge and participants battle for league points rather than money.
"Poker in the Pub is very friendly, and all about having a good time," said landlord Graham Bunn. "Absolutely anybody is welcome, whether they're an expert or a total beginner."
