SPORTSMAN -- TV racing pundit John McCririck is probably more familiar to us Europeans, but once seen, probably remembered. Sporting his trademark mutton chop ginger whiskers, a blue floral sunhat, rings of bling and glasses on a gold chain, McCririck stands out from the crowd. His chips are guarded by a miniature big-head figurine of himself, something you don't see every day. But there are only 8,600 of them left, and the poker fan will need to turn things around if he's to make the dinner break. Having moved on from being teased for folding the nuts on TV (I kid you not), McCririck may have improved over the past year, but he has a tough table to get past, including Devilfish, Cristiano Blanco, Richard Collier and Dario Minieri - the latter played nearly every hand in the 15 minutes I was watching his table.
