Paul Zimbler is a Pro Poker player, he plays both Hold'em variants, Omaha and Texas. His official numbers start on 2001 when he got a decent 5th place at the MidLand Master, his greater cash out was at Paddy Poker Irish Open ($45K)

The attempt will run on the 21st of September as Zimbler will attempt to play poker for 80 hours, starting at 1pm. I personally think it's sick, he would need to stay awake for more than 3 days!

The goal is £50,000, and players who have signed up to play include: The Hendon Mob, Annette Obrestad, Sorel Mizzi, Neil Channing, Teddy Sheringham, Jesse May, Devilfish and Vicky Coren.

Btw, The attempt is an effort to raise money for the SPARKS (charity).
