Littlepokerwizard 8 Year old who won $500,000?
Forums and Poker Blogs are swirling with the unconfirmed story that an 8 year old named “littlepokerwizard” has won $500,000 on an unidentified poker site.
The story originated from a Tumblr.com blog, and has snowballed from there. Absent are any details that can be verified, the current claim is that there is a legal suit running in New Delhi that pits and 8 year old “poker prodigy” against an unidentified online poker site. The complaint? They are refusing to pay out a win of 22,912,500.38 Rupees ($500,000) due to account fraud. ApparentlyAashish Nanak signed up to the poker site through his uncle, although how he won the money is another detail left out of the original post.
The case is (apparently) in an unspecified court as the poker site is refusing to pay due to a breach of standard industry Terms of Service re: underage play and account fraud. However, the legal team for the 8 year old argues: “that the registration details belong to Aahish’s uncle and that at no time was it stated that Aashish could not play in the games.” The lawyers for the gambling website, however state “that legally they do not have to pay out the winnings, as Aashish is under age, and are accusing him of entering false details.”
Is this an early April Fools joke? Is this an 8 year old poker prodigy?? I’m not really sure yet….given the lack of information and vagueness of the information that was given, i’m going with early April fools joke!
