Joe Grech
In an early hand PKR Online Qualifier Ellie Gudger took a pot of a few thousand from Joe Grech. When asked if he had lost his dealer bonus chips yet he quipped: “Only when I’ve lost down to 11,000 will I start to play properly”. When it was highlighted that Ellie had most of his missing chips she smiled and offered some consolation, “I’m just keeping them warm for you”.
