Shane Warne Splits with 888

Tuesday, 6 January 2015

Aussie cricketing legend turned wannabe poker star Shane Warne will be starting 2015 patchless after severing ties with long-time backer 888 Poker.

The leg-spin wizard confirmed the split via Twitter but added that he'll still be playing in this year's Aussie Millions and hopes to continue his poker dreams.







Warne has career earnings of $71,528 in live tournament poker. It could have been even better following a deep run at the WSOP Asia Pacific Main Event in October. The 45-year-old who was on the wrong end of a pretty bad beat and busted in 22nd when a final table place, with all the publicity that would ensue, was tantalizingly close.
