IDRIS HAS AN ACE UP HIS SLEEVE Idris tells Ollie that he’d like him to take part in the poker game, he’ll provide him with the cash, the odds will be stacked in his favour and he’ll receive a cut of the winnings. As Lauren and Brody set up for the poker night, Lauren overhears Idris giving Ollie his instructions. Lauren warns Ollie that if he’s caught cheating, he’ll be in serious trouble. Having found out about the poker night from Brody, Kit calls at Speed Daal and persuades a reluctant Idris to let him take part and one of the players, Fiona, insists they double the stakes. With the game underway, Idris watches intently while Brody secretly knocks back shots behind the bar. One by one the players fold leaving Fiona and Ollie to battle it out. Ollie wins the game hands down. Fiona’s fuming whilst Idris breathes a sigh of relief. After Idris has a go at Brody for stealing drinks, Brody lets slip to Leanne that it was a poker night and Ollie won using the money she gave Idris. How will Leanne react?
