One of the latest is the Australian bowler Shane Warne. Warne is a cricketing legend, and has been playing poker for a few years now, representing Pacific Poker at the WSOP and other live events.
Another professional player with Pacific Poker is Spanish beauty, Leo Margets. The clever people at Pacific Poker have even based a tournament on her ‘A Por Ella’ (Go and Get Her), it is a ‘bounty hunter’ tournament where the player who knocks Margets out wins $50.
Former plastic surgeon and 2007 WSOP Omaha Bracelet Winner Michael Keiner is a fellow professional associated with Pacific Poker.
