Dumfries man to feature in documentary about life as professional poker player

Tonight there will be a documentary on the life of a professional poker player from Dumfries.

He breaks many myths about the world of work, including the idea that it's a James Bond lifestyle of opulence and high living in foreign casinos, by sharing the highs and lows of his career.

At Stirling University, he started playing poker with friends while pursuing his legal degree. Each month ended with him living off beans on toast and without any money. He began by increasing his winnings by playing online games with lesser stakes, but soon he was taking on more difficult tasks.
