    I never knew he played poker as well.
    Is all the economic apocalypse stuff and the Magners advertising just a sideline for him?

    I smell porkies,members of casino surveillance/security are secret employees in general who have no affiliation with the day to day operations of the casino and it's workings.

    Back in 2003 I won 2.5 million in the WSOP, beating Sammy Farha at the final table to take down the main event.

    It hasn't worked out great for me since though.

    :D

    LoL - quite the opposite actually - I think it has worked out rather phenominally well for him - has he worked as an accountant since? Does he still enjoy sponsorship? - Wish it would work out so badly for us all!!!!
