IT'S Viva Las Vegas for poker whizz Conor Tate!

Conor, of Gisburn Drive, Lowercroft, will compete in the World Series of Poker competition, held in the gambling capital later this month.

The 38-year-old father-of-seven won a place in the contest after entering an online poker game organised by bookmakers Ladbrookes.

Conor will join around 1,000 other card aces hoping to win a place on the final table, and the chance to land $3million.

Earlier this year, he netted a £9,000 payout from a separate web tournament after reading a book on card playing strategies.

Conor also won £800 in a live British Masters contest at Brighton.

He said: "It has been going well but this will be the biggest test yet."
