London builder and father of three Ian Frazer (46) is the latest online winner of the 888.com UK Poker Open Championship, taking home half a million dollars this week
Frazer, who has only been playing poker for two years played against some of the best poker pros around in the high pressure tourney, which carried a prize pool of $1 080 000. He beat last year’s champion and snooker ace Matthew Stevens, former UK snooker champion Paul Hunter, Big Brother’s Makosi and football legend Teddy Sheringham among others.
Speaking after the win, Ian said: “I did not fear the pros at all – even when I was down to the last guy who was an American who had flown over from Las Vegas after winning a world series.”
