After winning the High Roller trophy at the Partypoker UK Championships in February, rumours had gathered during the event that the pro was willing to do one crazy stunt for fun, it started as a joke but as more people heard about it, then the poker pro decided madly to go through with it and literally place his trophy, representing his £42,000 winnings, on black at the roulette wheel.
