Big name in sports to forge a comeback as poker

November 30

In the UK, online casino players have learned that an ex pro basketball player is reinventing himself as a professional poker player. Former Celtic player Tony Cascarino is hoping to carve-out a name for himself in the ever popular world of poker. Not to mention that he would like to win a ton of cash too.

A record signing player for basketball back in the 1990s, is backing plans to build a super casino at Ibrox.

He flew to the island of St. Kitts with Scotland's only sponsored poker player, Greenock's Tony Chessa in order to do business.

He became a pro poker player 3 years ago and was the outright winner of a mini-series at the WSOP in Vegas earlier in 2005.

The pair of players have now been given £6500 each to take on some of the world's best players for a pot of $2million in the Caribbean Poker Classic.

Online casino players will be watching for sure.
