Ready, Teddy, Sheringham! Former England Star on a Roll at the WSOPE

Ready, Teddy, Sheringham! Former England Star on a Roll at the WSOPE

Wednesday, 30 September 2009

The list of animalistically-named poker players at the Betfair World Series of Poker 2009 Main Event is growing thin, largely thanks to ex-Manchester United and England striker Teddy Sheringham.

Firstly, Teddy knocked out Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott in 35th place – the British pro and WPT champion had Ks-9s which couldn’t find the right outs against Sheringham’s AQ on an AQ8JK board.


He then made an extra surge to the top of the leaderboard by eliminating “Bald Eagle” Steve Zolotow, who was at one point the chip leader. Getting all the chips in pre-flop, Sheringham had KK to Zolotow’s 55 which couldn’t hit outs.


Both Bald Eagle and Devilfish received just over £21,000 for their efforts. Sheringham is now in seventh place on 466,000 and Steven Fung on 668,000 leads the field of 30 remaining players.
