In a cracking grand finale, Simon Fox wins the Bother Series of Poker 2011 after a tense heads-up battle with Matt Clemson. overtaking both myself and last year’s winner Andrew Smith for the title. Simon wins the trophy, the gold medal and a £46 bonus. Runner-up Andrew Smith claims silver and £27.60, and me, despite leading the league all the way through shoved with Jacks only to find Simon’s Queens, and finishes in third place with the bronze medal and £18.40, which I will spend on kebabs most probably. Matt Clemson finishes outside the podium, David J Bodycombe off of the telly deserves a mention for a fantastic late run.
