Fresh from a recent marauding trip Vegas, Tom organised the inaugural Hyperion Poker Night.

The stakes were reasonably modest as much of the budget went on Hula Hoops, scotch eggs, and rather marvellous mini Cornish pasties.

Seven of team Hyperion settled down to a lager fuelled night of cards action. However rather inevitably there were no surprises, and Hyperion's resident gambling blogger Mr James Faux ran out a comfortable winner, rather frighteningly not even stepping up into top gear! Special mention must go to young-gun Ryan Burgess who almost managed the biggest come back since Lazarus (copyright Mr S.Waddell) and played a meticulous game to finish in the money.
