(Incredible Hulk II#465) - The poker players were Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Doc Samson and Thunderbolt Ross. As Bruce described it to Betty: 'In the old days, which may not exist anymore i.e. Heroes Reborn, Tony, Reed and I used to have regular poker games. Leonard's just continuing to observe me whenever possible.
The event was eventually won by poker journalist Ross Jarvis, who writes for PokerPlayer Magazine and has previously won the Virgin Festival in 2009. He commented after his win:
“I didn’t come in expecting too much because I know it was a pretty fast structure but I got some chips just before dinner and then really tried to put some pressure on, stealing blinds whenever I could. I’m really happy with how I played on the final table though and was dead set on winning – I didn’t even look at the payouts for anywhere but first place.”
“Apart from winning, it was a great fun tournament to play in. Everyone on the Sky Poker Tour was really friendly at the tables and I’m looking forward to seeing some of the same faces again at the Grand Final in September. The money will come in really handy as I’ve just moved in with my lovely girlfriend Hattie – depressingly, I think some of it will go on pretty dull, mature items such as coffee tables and kitchenware.”
The next leg of the Sky Poker Tour will be held in Glasgow on 8th May 2010, with qualification only on Sky Poker.

Shane Lynch Joins Ladbrokes Poker
Ladbrokes Poker have announced the sponsorship of Boyzone Star Shane Lynch, in a one year contract. Apparently the boyband favourite is also a star of motorsport drifting, whom Ladbrokes are also sponsoring him for this year. The card room are planning on turning Lynch from a poker virgin into a solid player.
His year long journey will see him play online and live, in Vegas and in Europe, ending at the Irish Poker Festival in Killarney next year. He commented “I’d always been a bit intimidated by the poker scene; I’d seen it on TV and found the whole thing a bit baffling. But having spent time with the Ladbrokes players at a few events last year, I’ve seen that you don’t need to be an expert to give it a go. I’m really looking forward to getting into this poker journey, learning more and having some great fun along the way.”
Kate McLennan Head of Ladbrokes Poker said “Shane is the perfect ambassador for Ladbrokespoker.com – he’s a great guy and totally down to earth. We want to show that poker is for everyone. We’re not like other sites that spend huge amounts on poker professionals that their players will never be able to relate to. Ladbrokespoker.com is the site that’s friendly, accessible, where all ages and abilities come together. Poker takes a moment to learn and a lifetime to master. With Shane, we want to show that anyone can give it a go and have fun.”
