Maybe through Party Poker. I swear the rate they give me on US to Canadian is very generous, it's basically the sell rate that merchants charge for US dollars. So their conversion for the pound must be similar. The only thing is large amounts of money can't be cashed. I think Party has a 10k limit........ [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Find a well known poker player at your local casino and ask to exchange at spot rate. I guess you'd have a harder time doing this pre WSOP than post WSOP though. Oh, and do it in cash, on the spot.

Look for one of the UK/irish guys who cash high in an early event and get in contact with them.
