European champion - taxi driver Ian Turner Picture: STEVE O'CONNELL
Southend cabbie Ian Turner has trounced more than 50 of the world's finest...at poker.
Ian, 50, of Shaftesbury Avenue, Thorpe Bay, scooped a £10,000 jackpot by winning a category in the European championships in London.
He said: "I'm a gambler at heart and my wife Sally says it's OK as long as the bills get paid."
