A poker player from Yorkshire rubbed shoulders with the stars at one of the biggest poker tournaments in the world - but sadly just missed out on winning money.

Mathew Huby qualified for the World Series of Poker $10k Main Event after he came top of the Let's Play Poker Live (LPPL) online league, which runs regional poker leagues across the country and online alongside partypoker.

The lorry driver, of Morley, said he would not think about the $10m top prize and instead simply enjoy the social side of the game, which is what he does when playing with friends back home in Yorkshire.
