[edit: Just realised you have only been here for 6 months.. that explains it.. I always assumed you'd been around for years]

I knew he played from his facebook...but didnt realise how serious he was about it...and didnt realise Id seen him on tv before...looks loads different in shades :)

lily. 20-01-2010 11:14 AM

I dunno if he was on TV, but I did know he makes enough from playing to not have to work full-time, so I'd say it's more than just a hobby lol.

Novo 20-01-2010 11:14 AM

I have definitely seen him on tv somewhere, Im sure of it. That picture is so familiar...was a couple of years back though I think...

InOne 20-01-2010 11:16 AM

lily. 20-01-2010 11:17 AM

Poker player Mark Rayson is hoping to come back from Las Vegas with some duty-free in his luggage - a staggering $12m.

Mr Rayson, 21, a computer science student at Oxford Brookes University, has got lucky by winning a place at the table in the world's biggest poker tournament.

He will be one of 6,000 contestants using skill and bluffing ability to try to win the World Series of Poker, which begins next Thursday

If the article means the World Series of Poker Main Event then yes $12,000,000 sounds correct. That has a $10,000 and i think only the top 500 or something cash. If he DID enter, he either made the low money or went out before the "money".

\PJ/ 20-01-2010 11:33 AM

danda012 you crazy cat.

Novo 20-01-2010 11:34 AM

I forgot that 2007 just happened to be the year the changed the prize money around. The year before, the top 12 were all millionaires guaranteed but the next year, it got changed so that the prize was more leveled out. I think only top 4-5 won over $1m in the 2007 tournament.

InOne 20-01-2010 11:38 AM

\PJ/ 20-01-2010 11:39 AM
