Vicky Coren-Mitchell becomes a mother
We round up a few stories you may have missed recently, including Phil Galfond's wedding and a WSOP nightmare for Jake Cody.
Baby Barbara
Two-time EPT champion and former Team PokerStars pro Victoria Coren-Mitchell entered the realm of parenthood with husband of three years David Mitchell last week after the birth of their first child Barbara.
Coren-Mitchell apologised to fans and followers earlier the same day for her recent absence from social media using "development of a new project" as an excuse, but few would have decoded the true meaning of her cryptic teaser:
We've got a daughter!!! Barbara Elizabeth June Mitchell, very small and sweet. All three of us are extremely happy and sleepy.

Another famous poker pro in Phil Galfond also celebrated a special family day in May when he married long term partner Farah Fath:
It's official! I'm Mr. Galfond!!!

Jake Cody's passport nightmare
From first hand experience this author can assure you there's nothing worse than losing your passport when you need it most, and that's an opinion Jake Cody will now vouch for after this nasty scenario materialised on the day he was scheduled to fly out to the WSOP:
Flight to Vegas is in 4 hours and woke up to find my car towed with passport inside, this is going to be an interesting day

Luckily though for the Team PokerStars Triple Crown winner, he somehow managed to retrieve his documentation in time and travel to out to Vegas for the start of the series.
Made iiiiiiiiiit #vegasbound

The biggest Spin & Go challenge ever?
Two of our most successful SNG grinders of all time are about to go all out in an epic head-to-head Spin & Go challenge on PokerStars to "prove to the world just how profitable these games can be".
The 30-day challenge between crushers FCDplayer_PL and bakudranski begins June 01 and will run at the $60 (or higher if possible) Spin & Go stakes, with each player allowed to play an unlimited number of total games.
An eventual winner will be determined by whoever has the highest $EV post rakeback at the end of June, and is expected to rake in around $35,000 from the loser as payment!
Get daily updates from both players and their exciting endeavours via their dedicated thread.
