Professional Scottish poker player struggling to get mortgage

Even though Niall Farrell is the best professional poker player in Scotland, he has disclosed that he had trouble getting a mortgage despite having won over $11 million.

The Dumfries graduate gave up on a legal career and has been travelling the world and competing in tournaments for the past ten years. The 36-year-old, who has faced off against Neymar and Gerard Piqué of Barcelona in the past, revealed that his glamorous career didn't translate when it came to home ownership.
