Spiderman Wins Poker Tournament

Following Ben Affleck�s triumph at the California State Championships, Spiderman star Tobey Maguire has become the latest Hollywood actor to show he has what it takes to cut it with the pros, by winning Phil Helmuth�s Invitational Tournament event. The $2000 buy-in tourney at the Hollywood Park Casino netted Maguire $95,480, as he outlasted 123 players over a period of 13 hours for his first ever tournament win.

The Phil Hellmuth Invitational was the 8th event in a series of 12 being held as part of the Hollywood Park Casino National Championship, which overall has seen a prize pool of $1 million

Commenting on Maguire�s win, event organizer and owner of 9 WSOP bracelets, Phil Helmuth said: �Before the tournament, Tobey told me that he would love for this to be his first tournament win. I am very proud of the way he played the game last night. He showed tremendous focus and determination. I predict that he will become one of the better poker stars.�
