A new Wick poker champion was finally crowned in the small hours of Sunday morning after a closely contested three hour final. A final table of Lownsy's landlord Mikey, Lownsy's mate Pete, Hibby, Clarky, Powelly and Mackie duelled it out in close card combat until finally Clarky drew a staight on the turn to beat Powelly's high pair. Earlier, Olly Lloyd (Teddington) had just missed out a final berth being the short stack. His consolation was to win the "plate" final beating stiff competition from Wickles, Matti, Lownsy, Joey and Lingers. Powelly had earlier been chip leader on his table and was, rather like the seconds leading for all but the final day of last season, unlucky to come a close second. £££s were raised for club funds.

You have to wonder would the blog have been updated had somebody else won?

This rather snippy comment suggests that there is some sort of link between Clarky and Wickman. Wickman's secret identity is known only by a gnarled Butler.
Rumours are that Poker was the real winner.
I'm no gnarled Butler.

Well Anon, what we can safely say is that Poker came close to winning, but you can be sure it was ahead of our Chairman who had a very expensive evening...
Chaps,
Wanted to say thanks for Saturday. Great night.
Three things though I learnt whilst in the company of the motley HWCC crew;
Everything said is a Fact,
Everyone is called Barry,
and I left thinking I was racist.
