‘The Casino Barrière Cassis is the best casino near Marseille.’ Slim McCoy said.  ‘The best food, you mean,’ joked Dimitar.  ‘Naturally!’  The four of them made their way to the cash tables, where Sam had a word with the cardroom manager. Before playing, they dined. They ate extraordinarily well. Tender seared salmon over vegetables, a […]

A flop of two tens and a jack with two hearts on show was perfect for Dimitar. There was no way Serf would see the move coming. When Serf bet out, Dimitar knew that he had him. All he had to do now was to cover the strength in his hand. No talk. No Hollywood. […]

Peter Serf folded his cards.  ‘I think I’ll let you have a slight lead rather than a big one.’ He said, swirling wine in his glass. ‘You played it like a busted flush. Maybe that’s all it was. But you showed me a lot of emotion. You made something along the way, didn’t you?’ Dimitar […]

 Dimitar was out of the sunshine in Valencia and took no notice of the evening sunset that cast a deep pink hue across the sky. He was focused only on the cards in front of him, and for the next eight hours, he won. Thanks to Sam’s advice and the insider knowledge of several tells […]

Dimitar’s life had included many big weeks. When he was nine years old, his mother had become ill and spent seven straight days in hospital recovering from kidney stones. It was harsh, painful,  and agonizing, and, according to Dimitar’s Mum, it wasn’t pleasant for her either. When he was fifteen, Dimitar fell in love with […]

‘I’m going to have to rely solely on my wits.’ Dimitar said. Simone told him not to worry and that she would be on the rail – now behind a series of velvet ropes – watching him and listening to Philippe.  The heads-up battle began with Dimitar facing a 3:1 deficit in chips. Soon after, […]
