Dovzhenko and Blain Seated Next to Each Other

Two regulars on the European poker circuit, Dermot Blain and Alex Dovzhenko will not be over excited about their starting table draw, as they have been seated directly next to each other.

Blain will be the happier of the two as he has position on Dovzhenko, but it is far from an idea situation. 

Blain is the current Irish Player of the Year according to the Global Poker Index rankings, but he is without a cash on the World Poker Tour since January 2012 when he finished 22nd in the WPT Dublin Main Event.

Dovzhenko is vastly experienced but his last cash on the WPT was back in December 2011 when he finsihed sixth at WPT Venice.
