CARD sharp Tony Chessa has landed the biggest poker game of his professional career in the gambling capital of the world.
All eyes will be on the Greenock man as he is filmed living and breathing poker for a reality TV show.
Tony flew to Vegas at the weekend to challenge for a $10 million jackpot.
But even if he wins the big one, Tony admits he will carry on playing. He said: “I’m addicted to the game. I’m rated 30th in Europe. I want to get in to the Top Ten. This is not like any other job — it's a way of life.”
Tony, 32, whose family run Aldo’s restaurant in Greenock, is sponsored by Ladbrokes to play in the 10-event Poker World Series.
While in Vegas, he will stay with two Brits and three Americans to be filmed for the documentary. Tony said: “It won’t be like Big Brother, as the cameras won’t be in the bedrooms.”
