On the plane to Barcelona with Dave Colclough, Nick Gibson, Marc Goodwin, Tony Chessa and Mickey Wernick, we start a game of crash (13-card brag). The European Crash Tour continues when we arrive in Barcelona, where Mickey makes a valiant attempt to relieve himself of his ‘crash bitch’ crown by winning €7,000.Meanwhile, Dave and Marc make reasonable attempts at acquiring the crash-bitch crown with dismal fish-like displays. In fact, Dave’s so disturbed by the experience we all hope to draw him in the first round of the World Heads- Up Tournament. BLESSED ARE THE WEAK

However, the first event is the €1,000 no-limit tournament, where things fall my way.
