Some guys have all the luck

No, today's title isn't designed to pay homage to the late exponent of soulful ballads Robert Palmer or leopard print king Rod Stewart ( although with the legsome Penny Lancaster in tow, Rodders has clearly had his fair share of the stuff! ). I'm referring to a chap with one or two aces up his sleeve, along with some other fortuitous cards.
Ladies and Gentleman, Mr Michael Greco.
Yes, the croak-voiced romeo from Eastenders, Beppe di Marco. The Pokercast with Littlewoodspoker.com, the trusted name in gaming, say those in the know has just secured an interview with this cool-handed thesp. Michael is one of a raft of actors who has been lured by the draw (groan) of poker. He's good too. Having been mentored by "Mad" Marty Wilson, Greco went on to appear in the 2005 Poker Million, World Speed Poker Open (that's playing with alacrity, not the illicit substance) and the European Poker Tour in Dublin.
It would seem oppotune at this point to paste in a timely link thus :

The Pokercast is monthly, free to subscribe to and on top of all things poker. That most assiduous of sports writers, Peter Sharkey along with Aussie Col trains his gaming cross hairs on tournaments, features, poker news, facts, interviews and the odd promotion or two.
Listen out for Michael and how he scooped £100,000 following the climax of the 3rd round of the Grosvenor Poker Tour in Cardiff and why acting is a solid training ground for the art of the false tell. It's a Wonkana production and far be it from us to be immodest, it's rather good.
