Underdog Wins Ladbrokes Poker Million

The live final of the Ladbrokes Poker Million 2005 was aired, and the winner of the big event was yet another ‘underdog’ Tony Jones. Taking the top prize of $1,000,000 cash.

Having qualified for the event via a freeroll win, the winner of Europe�s richest televised poker tournament has already drawn comparisons to the story of Chris Moneymakers infamous WSOP win in 2003, for which he qualified through a $40 satellite tournament online.

To no surprise, Tony has reportedly left his dayjob as a warehouse manager to pursue more time on the tables.
