My mate Liv won like 1.4 million dollars recently playing poker. Nearly choked when I saw it on facebook! She was on the front page of the sun the next day, was shocked to say the least lol.

not updated on site but just had text to say he is down to 102k

I take it this is online then?

What's to stop a couple of friends getting together and 'rigging' an online poker room if that makes any sense?
