July Festival – Main Event

Michael McCool, winner of the main event of the July Festival of Poker at the Broadway Casino, Birmingham, UK, has, in the past, offered some interesting comments to the press.

Here he is on his ambition:

'I'm naturally gifted with my mouth so if I continue to win whilst living a simple life in the country with my dogs, I will be very happy.'

Although some may argue that parts of that are a tad disconnected, the first part probably explains why his favourite celebrity is Gordon Ramsey.

Still, if he continues to haul in poker cash cows such as Saturday's £20,250, it won't be too long until he can act as lord of the manor and pursue his favourite hobbies of greyhound racing and shooting.

He certainly won't be the first person to consider tooling up while listening to James Blunt, McCool's favourite musician.
