WSOP runner up Martin Staszko receives medal, flannel shirt in home town

The runner-up in this year’s World Series of Poker, Martin Staszko, arrived in his home town of Třinec, in the north-east of the country, on Wednesday. The local town hall awarded the poker star a commemorative medal and a flannel shirt, his signature attire in which he played at the Las Vegas tournament. Mr Staszko said he would wear the shirt at all big tournaments in the future. The 35-year-old former car factory manager, who won some 100 million crowns in prize money, also told reporters many people were approaching him asking for financial help.
