Here's the link:JAMES Bond villain Mads Mikkelsen, who plays sinister poker player Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, is finding out just how hard top-flight poker is in real life. Yet despite being seated on a tough table, he is holding his own.
Sat with him are two of Scandinavia's finest - Theo Jorgensen and Edgar Skjervold - but Mads has sensibly realised that with an hour-long clock, starting blinds of 25-50 and 10,000 chips, he does not have to do anything silly.
Of course, if he finds himself in trouble he can always poison the opposition, just like he did in the film to the unfortunate Bond.

He apparently did not fair well, though and was eliminated on the first day:
Not such good news for James Bond villain Mads Mikkelsen. The Danish film star, who played Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, had been slowly bleeding chips for a couple of hours, and then crashed out with 10-10 against A-K on a king-high flop.

Here's another site with a quick blurb the interviewer got from Mads as he exited:
