Golf versus Poker

His eye on the ball
His eye on the ball
It would appear today that golf is winning this battle as the hordes of poker players swamping the Amazon Room refuse to take their eyes off the plasma screens.

Over in the Brasilia Room, Maciek "Michael" Gracz has spent most of the last half hour sitting on the floor under the nearest screen as Tiger dominates the fairways.

However, his attention was drawn back to the tournament when he flopped bottom set holding {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Sadly for Gracz, his opponent held {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a bigger set leaving the former WPT winner with a depleted stack of 1,400.
