I have always been a very low-risk type of person, but in another alternate universe I am not such a mouse. I am a hard-core, high-stakes, high-rolling poker millionaire. Poker is something that has become hugely popular in recent years. It is glamarous and the stakes are super high. You can lose big but you can also become a millionaire. There is also a certain amount of skill involved, so you can tip the odds in your favour. Victoria Coren is one of the big names that made poker mainstream. She has total winnings of a staggering £1.43million after becoming the first ever two-time winner of the European Poker Tour. This year she won a cash prize of £391,932 – and a watch worth more than £4,000.

I would have loved to have taken part in the PCA 10 Poker 2013 – $100k Super High Roller Poker. Unfortunately I don’t have the skill yet, but hopefully one day. Until then I can live vicariously through episode one of the $100k PCA 2013 Super High Roller live Poker Star, starring Phil Ivey, Antonio Esfandiari, Steve O’Dwyer and Ike Haxton, with cameo appearances from Phil Hellmuth and Tom Dwan. Poker 2013 live tournament series. Day 2 at PCA 2013 live poker tournament and the prizepool is set at a cool $5.7m, with over $2m going to the winner. Who will win the battle of the finest mind in Poker? Our feature table line-up is stellar: Tom Dwan, Antonio Esfandiari, ElkY, Dan Shak, Steve O’Dwyer, Vivek Rajkumar and JC Alvarado.

£5.7 million prize pool? Over £2 million going to the winner. Wowzers. There is also a really good cast of the great and good of poker.

After the excitement of that episode you can check out episode two which is as good as the first poker live tournament.
