hosted at London's Grosvenor Victoria Casino. No stranger to poker, Vicky is a well
known in London circles as a weekly poker columnist, authoress and part-time poker TV
presenter.
In terms of previous poker tournament wins, Vicky earned her poker spurs when
she won the 2004 Celebrity
Poker Club on Challenge TV as well as placed second at the 2005 and 2006 British
