Boris Becker's New Career in Poker
3rd March, 2008
Boris Becker used to be the world number one in Tennis. He is now beginning a career in poker and has signed a contract with an online poker company.
Becker learned to play poker during his tennis career, in rain breaks and intervals in his matches. He retired from tennis in June 1999. He is hoping to, in late April, be one of approximately 800 professional poker players participating in Europe’s Grand Final in Monte Carlo.
He said “I have already been playing intensively since last year. What fascinates me about poker is the psychology”.
