We at Eyebrows know how difficult it can be to pick a winner. We can look down the list of players in a high stakes poker tournament and no name leaps out. The Rendez-vous a Paris was a particularly baffling time, as it featured eighteen days of intense poker and attracted players from across Europe, fighting it out over a range of games.

If asked to select the player most likely to line his pockets, we would have been under intense pressure. It could be anyone. It is at times like these that we appreciate the efforts of a New Yorker called Robert Lane. After having several children, he decided to name his next baby boy Winner.
Winner Lane.
He could be in a movie scripted by Sylvester Stallone
If only lists of entrants of poker tournaments could be touched by the principles of Robert Lane, our lives would be so much easier. Three years later, he had his final baby boy and, for reasons that mere poker journalists can only bet at, decided to call him Loser. Just like trailing the Lane family tree, we could look at a long list of poker players and easily see the Winner and the Loser.
If only life were like that.
Until it is, we will have to rely on factual results and not life-influencing insights into the fate of man.
Tomorrow, you’ll definitely have the former.
We’ll do our best to provide the latter.
Don’t get your hopes up though.
We are not Robert Lane.
