Card aces from a Banstead pub have been hitting their royal flushes to earn places in a national poker final.
Diane Docherty and Gary Dring have made it through to the final of the Redtooth Poker national final, following heats at the Woodman pub.
They will now have to perfect their poker faces, as they will be among 440 other finalists battling it out at poker venue Dusk Till Dawn, in Nottingham, on March 28.
There is a £12,000 prize pool, with the winner taking home £5,000 and rewards paid out to the top 20 players.
Former England footballer Teddy Sheringham, and presenter of The Real Hustle, Jessica Jane Clement, will be the celebrity guests at the final.
The two players have made it through from an initial pool of 84,000 registered players from 1,100 participating pubs.
