    Just wondering how many people went for Andy Black or Andy Bloch for 56 down, both are professional poker players and both surnames fit the answer grid. :confused:

    Probably more likely to be Andy Black as he was born in Belfast but now lives in Dublin.

    the results were posted in the sports section of the IT on a saturday two weeks ago (i think it was the jan 12 edition).

    forget who won but wasn't me anyway.

    i'm sure they'd have been in touch had you been a winner but :(
