3 Barrels: Pak wins WPT Korea; Pu wins Poker King Cup; China bans Twitch

3: Barrels with an Asian flavour including Valeriy Pak winning World Poker Tour Korea, Wei Ran Pu taking down the Poker King Cup Main Event in Macau, and the Chinese Government banning Twitch. 

Imagine fighting in, and surviving two World Wars, only to be handed the task of leading four woefully light and untrained divisions against 75,000 advancing North Koreans in the Korean War.

You manage to get out of that jam, alive; pin a few medals on your chest, and then while out experiencing a leisurely drive in your jeep a South Korean weapons carrier swerves out of lane sending you to your death.

That’s what happened to Walton Walker, and I know this because, during a recent visit to Seoul in South Korea, my wife’s uncle drove me to the Hotel Grand Walkerhill promising the most majestic view of the city, only to be foiled by barricades preventing access by road vehicle.
