hooray!! moved rooms and we see poker!!

we're still looking at a bluescreen here - just Jesse May and Neil Channing for company... no major action so far (by the sounds of it, not by the sight of it)

Enough bracelets on this table to make any jeweller jealous - and two Poker Million champs... Akenhead the defending one, Duthie the inaugural one.

The course of true poker reporting never runs smooth... but now the internet appears to be behaving itself, we're looking at a blue screen! We have audio though - radio matchroom poker is in the house!

Cracking return for poker million though, the fourth heat
