Monday 26th May 2008 Cannes Poker Tournament Won By Woody Harrelson
He may be best known as an actor, he may be famous for his role in ‘Cheers’ but Woody Harrelson is a mean Poker player by all accounts, splitting first prize at the Cannes celebrity Poker event with French actress Alice Taglioni. So what is Woody Harrelson’s secret? What has pushed him to a new level from a relatively unknown?<br />
<br />
The final table at the Cannes charity event, which saw $500,000 donated to charities of the winner’s choice, consisted of Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Woody Harrelson, Dennis Hopper and Salma Hayek. While many may have given Harrelson little hope of bringing home the big prize he seemed to have other ideas and took the field apart. So what is his secret?<br />
<br />
While Poker movies were all the rage in Hollywood for a while, many people may have missed Harrelson’s Poker film ‘The Grand’ which was released earlier this year. In the movie he takes on the role of a Poker player and it seems as though he has been taking lessons to improve his knowledge and understanding of the game – and it has paid off in fine style!<br />
<br />
Even though the movie may not have been the raging success which he had hoped, it has certainly given his own Poker skills a major boost!
