Student wins $1 million prize after gambling for a week in the Bahamas. Canadian student was new at gambling and won lucky from playing poker. Gambling student Steve Paul-Ambrose is a 22 year old from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. The student had no idea how lucky he would strike it when he entered a poker gambling contest which was held in the Bahamas over the winter break. The student managed to come out tops in the gambling contest, taking the first prize of $1.3-million.
Ambrose managed to outlast more than 700 other gambling contestants in the Third Annual Poker Stars Caribbean Adventure at the Atlantis Casino Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The poker gambling contest is based on the popular Texas Hold’em game in which gambling players get two cards they must use along with five other cards dealt on the table to come up with the best hand. Ambrose, who admits that he is not a regular gambler, managed to score tops in this contest for reasons he is still unsure of.
The gambling entrance fee was $8000, but Ambrose who managed to receive discounts from some online gambling sites, only ended up paying $102 to participate. These discounts were achieved by filling in various competitions and coupons on participating online casinos. This fact makes Ambrose’s victory even more amazing – that from as little as $100 the student managed to win so back. Let us just say that Ambrose will not leave the college with student debts.
