Poker Whiz Hides From Wife

The identity of a man who won over �250,000 playing Internet poker is shrouded in mystery today, because he fears his wife will get a cut in the divorce courts. The man, a salesman from East Sussex, UK, scooped �261,264.61 after drawing a Royal Flush at Ladbrokes online casino. According to British tabloid, The Sun, �Mr X� started playing less than two weeks ago. He had a couple of wins on the horses and then moved on to poker at �50 per stake. He told them: �It was amazing as it�s the first time I had gone on to the site,� adding, �Don�t tell the missus � I want it all for myself.�

Mr X said that normally he would have loved all the publicity that goes with a big win, but his divorce isn�t finalised. �The last thing I need is a certain person to know there�s a huge amount of money up for grabs,� he explained.
