    Her play at the final table was the perfect example of how to play short stacked poker. To go from the short stack to a 3/1 chip leader in about 90 minutes was superb. She's currently ranked 355 on the world all time money list so she's no mean player. She's probably one of the most popular players on the circuit.

    Get that cash Victoria! ^_^

    Love all the FMs admitting their crushes. :D

    It's not often you encounter beauty and brains in one package (dons hard hat for incoming)! ;-)

    She comes from good stock. I liked her dad, Alan.

    She's always struck me as being somewhat superior and condescending - but, to be fair, that may just be the image of herself she likes to portray 'Have I Got News For You' and similar things.

    I was at the filming of a HIGNFY that she was on a couple of years ago, and she was painful. Yes, she is very condescending and waffled on for ages and making little sense at times when ranting. Thankfully most of it was cut.

    I also dislike her turning up on Question Time, but I can't take anything away from her when it comes to poker playing.

    Fantastic win, good luck to her.

    I agree about brother Piles, though, the ignoramus.

    Aww...not getting the Giles Coren hate. I think he's quite nifty. In a parallel universe me and the Old Man would be double dating them.

    I wasn't aware who her brother was, but having Wiki'd him... it says a lot when your "controversies" section is nearly three times the length of the rest of it put together.

    I initially thought the poster was referring to some poker hand term, then I twigged :blush:.

    that sounds quite promising, until you realise that it's happening with David Mitchell :o

    Wait, Giles is her brother? As in the food writer. He's a right gimp but alarmingly sexy too.

    Yes, and Alexander Armstrong is Gile's brother in law. Quite a family gathering. :)
