The 888.com Poker Open IV is working its way to a climax with the boys in the lead.

Female contestants TV presenter and PokerPlayer contributor Kara Scott and radio and TV broadcaster Caroline Feraday, have been knocked out, with DJ Brandon Block and Big Brother Series 6 winner Anthony Hutton joined in the first heat by ex-Olympic athlete John Regis.

Footballer Teddy Sheringham and Ray Parlour both suffered the same fate as the girls and lost all the chips in their first game.

It's seems that all of celebland is at it, with ex-Westlife crooner Brian McFadden also making an appearance at the felt.
