It has been a relatively quiet week for poker in the United Kingdom and Ireland as its grinders begin their preparation for the upcoming World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas.

The week kicked off with the news of Ireland's Andrew "UlDuffer" Sweeney helping himself to a career-best score of more than $175,000.
