TROPHY RETAINED AT THE SQUARE
Charlie de Wirtz retained the Trophy last week to claim the first silverware of the season but insisted it would have no bearing on the outcome of the second round of the Poker Premier League next month at Old Town.
The win over Brett Levett was de Wirtz's fourth straight heads-up appearance in the Trophy and his third triumph.

POKER PREMIER LEAGUE: ROUND ONE
Simon Stanley fought back from a dreadful start to claim the first Premier League win of the first ever Poker Season at Swiss Cottage.
Looking like he was heading out first after losing two big hands early on, Stanley steadied the ship and hit some cards that paved the way for him to play his way back in.
Home player Christina Botting threw caution to the wind in the early hands to build up a useful chip lead, but just failed to avail herself of the bonus points that a top three finish would have afforded her, finishing in fourth place.
Husband Steve Botting - whose mind appeared to be anywhere but the table - suffered the ignominy of being the first player out, and now faces pressure to secure a high-placed finish in his home game in the next round of the League on March 21.
Brett Levett can consider himself unlucky when his pocket eights failed to hold up against sevens, leaving him with the one point that accompanies sixth place. Trophy holder Charlie de Wirtz was next out after a quiet night, followed by the host. John Byrne's third place represented a reasonable start to the campaign and sent him back to Brighton with four points, leaving Ed Godfrey as the man who lost out in the Heads-Up battle with Stanley.
