Footballer With A Goal
Diogo Veiga opened to 525, Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho made the call, as did Ludovic Lacay but then Teddy Sheringham raised to 2,300 pushing them all out of the pot as he consolidated his stack of about 25,000.
Sheringham is a former international footballer and part of the incredibly successful Manchester United team that have dominated English football for the last fifteen years. Sheringham is now switching his attention to the poker table and a 14th place finish in the WSOPE main event last year in what was ostensibly a very tough, pro heavy tournament. Sheringham has also cashed in the EPT last year in both London and Monte Carlo so clearly he can't be seen as just another 'celebrity' player.
In football, he was a solid dependable forward creating almost as many goals as he scored. Hopefully we'll discover a little bit more about his poker playing style as the day progresses.
