A Sour Ending To Poker Millions
JASON Potter is a young American. He went Australia to compete in the Aussie Millions poker tournament.
The game is over. Russian Alexander Kostritsyn, 21, has trousered the $1.6 million top prize.
But Potter is potless.
Having finished in a creditable 31st place, Potter went for celebratory McDonald's. He then walked back to his hotel room at Crown Plaza.
Says he: "I had already been home to my hotel room but decided to go out and get something to eat because I was hungry."
Then drama. A man. A knife. Potter is relived of his $3,000.
Says he: "I heard someone running resolutely behind me. As I turned around I just got knocked on the back of the head. I fell down and this guy reached immediately into my hooded pocket."
Did Potter fight back, hold out an even bigger knife in the mode of Mick Dundee, or a sub-automatic machine gun, as in the mode of an American?
No.
"I thought about trying to fight him but I thought no amount of money is worth it," he says.
He should have stayed at home and played online - not that you can in America...
