HUNGARIAN PRO WINS L.A. POKER CLASSIC
2010-03-09
"I'm going to spend it all!" says winner of $1.78 million main prize
Andras Koroknai, a professional player from Hungary, is the latest WPT L.A. Poker Classic champion after besting a final table of six players at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles this week.
The final table crowned five days of hectic action as the original field of 745 was narrowed down to just six survivors: Andras Koroknai, Raymond Dolan, Tri Huynh, Gevork Kasabyan, Jean-Claude Moussa and Michael Kamran.
In the end, it was Koroknai vs. Dolan, with the Hungarian holding a 13 to 1 chip advantage which ensured that the heads up was brief and decisive.
The Hungarian walked off with the main prize of $1 788 040, vowing cheerfully "I'm going to spend all of it!", whilst the runner up collected a check for $ 1 002 710.
PADDY POKER NEGOTIATING TIGER WOODS DEAL
2010-03-05
5 year, GBP 5 million sponsorship on the table
The land and online betting group Paddy Power.com has ambitious sponsorship plans for ace but disgraced international golf champ Tiger Woods - the company has entered negotiations through IMG to sponsor the world's best golfer in a five-year, GBP 5 million deal.
Woods, who is four titles short of equalling Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 majors, has not played since a car crash at his Florida home last November, reports The Guardian newspaper. In December he announced an indefinite break from the game after admitting marital infidelity. Last month he apologised for his behaviour but announced no date for his return to golf.
Paddy Power hopes to use Woods's images annually for its GBP 5 million, adding additional incentives of GBP 1 million for winning a US major and GBP 2 million for winning the Open.
Company spokesmen said: "We're in negotiations with IMG to sponsor Tiger. It's still in the early stage of the negotiations, really. It's going to be, if it all comes off, the biggest kind of sponsorship deal we have ever done by quite a way."
