Boy Wins Half a Million

Reply Subscribe
An eight-year-old Indian boy has won $500,000 in a game of online poker, according to reports doing the rounds of the Internet. Aashikh Nanak, who hails from northern city of Chandigarh, used his uncle's account to sign up a poker site before earning his fortune. But his family is now involved in a legal stoush after the site in question claimed the boy was underage and had engaged in account fraud.


Whether he is paid the money he won remains to be seen. :dirol

His uncle was a fool for telling folks before he got the cash. They'll never get it.

Well, whether he gets it or not doesn't really matter. In ten years we'll be watching him on TV winning more, anyway :1orglaugh

I find that one a little tough to swallow, but I guess it's possible.

I doubt that they will get the money. when you create an account you agree to the rules and some of them are you must 18 years of age or older AND they can close your account and deny your funds if you fraud them. Im not a lawyer and dont pretend to be one... but im a gambler and my money is on the poker site keeping the money (maybe even refunding those that the money was won from)
