Texting trouble sets back Shane Warne's poker career
0 Comments | AFP, January, 2008
SYDNEY (AFP) — Australian cricket legend Shane Warne's love of text messaging dealt an early blow to his new career as a professional poker player when he was penalised during a game, a tournament official said Thursday.
The legendary leg spinner hit the headlines regularly in the past over text messages to women in his life, helping trigger the breakdown of his marriage.
Since his retirement from international cricket last year, Warne has signed a deal with online gaming site www.888.com to play poker professionally.
But on Wednesday in his first tournament, the Aussie Millions at Melbourne's Crown Casino, Warne was forced to sit out for five minutes after he was caught sending a text message at the table.
