PartyPoker.com recognizes Croatia, Poker awards were glamorous

The lazy one is back!

Depressing weather in the UK does not affect the cheery mood – poker is finally taking us serious. Just as I was finishing my breakfast, I received an email – Party has signed our Dragon – EPT final tabler – Dragan Galic has become their team member. Congrats Dragon, there are many guys that would love to be in your spot – being so close to Miss Kara Scott AND being sponsored to play – HEAVEN!

Here’s a wee picture, I know I’m such and attention seeker!:)

Dragan has cashed tons last year ( http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=100008) so it is no wonder he got stolen by one of the fastest growing sites in the industry. I am very proud to be Croatian and say that we finally have a horse for the race. No offence, aye, it’s just a sayin’!

It’s also been brill for me lately – I am packing my bags and heading to Budapest. The first stop this year and a great value tourney that I will be presenting – 5 days of solid work which comes in heavily on me since Paris – done the Poker awards which was FABULOUS! Thanks to Nic and Bruno, I spent 5 gorgeous days during the Valentines period in this amazing city eating snails and waiting in lines for Eiffel tower for about a week. Thought it would be a great way to treat my boyfriend for his 30th birthday – freezing to death on top of a metal construction. Still, smugling champagne and being all disgustingly romantic above Paris saved the day – Happy Birthday once again, Rury!

The Poke awards were really posh tho – the ACF has given me the honor of presenting the event and I must say I felt like a princess – champagne, expensive gown, lights at Champs Elysees…felt like a Cinderella. But of course, every carriage turns into a pumpkin and every Prince turns into..Devilfish singing  ‘Johnny B.Good’. Had to be there to experience that, but here a little video for you to feel the love.
