Poker Video 1 - ElkY’s life as a pro-gamerWe all know that French ‘phenom’ Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier won the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure last week (and with it $2 million) but what you might not know is that he used to be a professional pro-gamer based in Seoul. The Koreans get pretty excited about computer games and in this vid you can see ElkY amid the dry ice trying to despatch his opponent, “ShowTime.WeRRa”, in a game of Warcraft. I don’t know about you but somehow poker seems more fun!
Poker Video 2 - Ferguson makes a fruit salad
If you had heard but didn’t believe that Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson could make a fruit salad using an ordinary pack of playing cards to chop the fruit then watch this. Last time we interviewed Chris at the PartyPoker Million on a cruise liner he showed us how to do it but said it had taken him 15 years to perfect the technique. And you thought he was some boffin with a dozen PhDs who read about game theory in his spare time!
Poker Video 3 - Tony G owning a cash game

If you want to learn how to be a truly great cash game player then the guy you need to take lessons from isn’t Hellmuth – it’s Tony G. In this ‘Million Dollar Cash Game’ he is the big winner, up $250k, against a bunch of top pros including Phil Ivey, Brian “sbrugby” Townsend and Patrik Antonius. Just sit back and admire the pure aggression from the Lithuanian Bulldog Tony G. There is also an awesome pot at the end of this featuring Antonius and Ivey that will make you wince.
Poker Video 4 - High Stakes Poker Season 4
Click Here To Watch
High Stakes Poker is the best poker show on TV right now and Season 4, that requires a buy-in of $500,000 an episode from the pros, has been better than ever. This vid is a segment from Episode 17 and at the end features a great hand between Daniel Negreanu and cash game expert David Benyamine.
Poker Video 5 - Marcel Luske at the WSOP 2004
The famous Dutch player Marcel Luske has been a bit quiet of late which is unusual for so flamboyant a character. Although he hasn’t had a six-figure score for 18 months there is no doubting he will be back at some stage with a huge win somewhere. To remind everyone of how good he is and how difficult to play against have a look at this vid from the 2004 main event when there were only a few tables left Marcel eventually finished 10th in the year Greg Raymer won. In this vid he chips back up courtesy of Londoner Harry Demetriou.
