Does not change the basic thrust of the article though.
Her account suggests she won £127k playing poker in about 2002. Really? 2006-possibly. But 2002? Must have been a cash game-Hendon appears to list her Tournament winnings as £120.
Many, many years ago I spent a short time suing/bankrupting people for a (former) casino. It truly sickened me to hear people arguing with a Judge that they were not insolvent, and that the next bet was bound to come in.
But the 1 that stays with me? I once asked someone how it had happened. He said the first time he went to that casino, he took £200 with him for fun, and left with nearly £20,000. And, due to the stupid assumptions he then made, he lost everything-his business, his family, and his self-respect.
