- Wednesday, 25 Jan 2006
This year Steve Ambrose’s university fees are no cause for concern. The 22-year-old recently became a millionaire overnight after putting his gambling talents to the test in a poker tournament. Ambrose’s win is further proof that even newcomers can succeed at gambling. According to his brother, the student only began gambling as a hobby two years ago and found his way into the PokerStars tournament purely by winning a few online competitions. Being the competition’s major winner was the last thing he’d expected.
While the effectiveness of Ambrose’s gambling is unquestionable, his luck in beating a host of more experienced players to the final round of the tournament is nothing short of phenomenal. Despite his interest in casino games and gambling, Ambrose’s lack of experience was highlighted by recent news that he had previously practiced gambling with his uncles over the holiday season in an attempt to develop a poker face. The student’s family cited his quiet, calm disposition and his ability to solve problems effectively under pressure as critical factors contributing to his win.
Ambrose’s gambling success and his win of $1.3 million U.S. dollars has proven highly encouraging for other casino players. Over 700 poker fans competed in the PokerStars tournament despite the $8000 entry fee, and organizers are expecting more newcomers to gambling to attend next year.
