Certain events have tendency to end in a familiar way: sex with a gasp, weddings with a song and divorces with a slanging match. For multi-million euro poker tournaments, the climax is usually a simple coin flip. After 5 gruelling days of play, 22 year-old Glen Chorny, an online qualifier from Canada, won the EPT Final at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort after his A5 won a race against the KQ of Denes Kalo.
 
By that stage Chorny has built a healthy chip advantage over his opponent and could easily afford to put the Hungarian in for his stack. An ace on the flop and fat ladies were singing - Glen Chorny collected a cheque …

It looks like it could all be off the cards for Amy Winehouse jailbird hubby Blake Fielder-Civil! What again? - we hear you cry, not it’s looking bad this time as our Wino snubbed "Maaaaaah Blaaaake" on his 26th birthday. Yeah we know he looks like a total old man - but then all that sniffing, snorting and shooting up can’t be good for your looks anyhow.

Amy used to be a walking advert for "stand by your man" or some such drivel but these days it’s more like "these boots were made for walking." Needless to say speculation is rife that the couple are on the rocks (not that kind!) Amy didn’t even bother to send a card to Blake …

Ian Wright aka Wrighty, the ever so slightly over-excitable Match of the Day pundit has had enough with Auntie and handed in his resignation.  He has claimed that he’s sick and tired of the ‘court jester’ role that’s left to him after the two Alan’s (Shearer and Hansen) have analysed the life out of the few remaining games the BBC have left before ITV takes the lot.  Wrighty also accused the ‘fogies’ at the top of the Beeb of falling behind the times with its "jacket, shirt and tie" coverage.

He now says he has quit, telling the TV industry magazine Broadcast: "I feel like I’m there as a comedy jester to break the ice with Alan Shearer and Alan Hansen …

Have you seen the recent incredible news footage of Greater Manchester Police on a drugs raid piling into the wrong house? Talk about a balls up. Some old dear in her sixties got the fright of her life as a bunch of burly coppers in riot gear smashed big hammers through her front window.

You see the whole thing blow by blow as the coppers steam out of a riot van and race up to the house. I shouted at the TV that the Royal Doulton figurines in the window sill didn´t look like the decor of choice of your average crack dealer. But the rozzers didn´t hear me. Word is Doris was doing her knitting not rolling a big …

Chelsea are determined to do it the hard way, aren’t they? Three days after dropping two priceless points at home to struggling Wigan, they only go up to Everton and win there. Never an easy thing to do – Everton are a tough old bunch, especially at home, and they’re still clinging on to the hope of grabbing fourth place. Not any more.

At this stage of the season, the Blues need a hero to drag them over the finish line. It’s not Didier Drogba, who’s gone off the boil and didn’t start last night’s match. It’s not Nicolas Anelka, who dragged a shot well wide and had one of his quieter days. No, the man stepping up to the plate …

Disastrous news for Spurs fans – it looks like star striker Dimitar Berbatov is getting ready to walk out of White Hart Lane. That’s right; the moody-looking Bulgarian has been playing hard to get all season whenever he’s asked about his future at Spurs, but whatever’s been going on in that complicated Balkan brain of his, his agent has spilled the beans. Dimi’s gonna do one. Or so he reckons, anyway.

“It’s time he was transferred to a club that regularly plays in the Champions League,” said Berbatov’s Mr Big, a fella by the name of Edmil Dantchev. “There are seven to eight clubs in Europe interested and we know them well.” Now, even the greatest Spurs optimist would be hard …
