A POKER pro has scooped a whopping \u00a32.2 million after playing for 27 hours straight from his dingy attic.<\/p>\n
Surrounded by fizzy drinks and snacks, Bert Stevens won the "biggest ever" jackpot in his career at the World Series of Poker online event.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Bert played for an exhausting 27 hours with breaks at the highest-paying online tournament in history, local media reported.<\/p>\n
The London-based poker pro played his way to victory from a tight, windowless attic.<\/p>\n
The room is just about spacious enough to fit a small dining table with a couple of monitors, an office chair with destroyed cushioning, a modest shelving unit and a fan.<\/p>\n
Exposed brick walls add an improvised look and feel to the "gaming studio".<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the Belgium native reportedly beat out a field of 6,023 entries and went heads-up against Yagen Li from China in the final round.<\/p>\n Both players were guaranteed more than \u00a31.6 million, with a difference of more than \u00a3616,188 between first and second place.<\/p>\n Bert, who goes by @girafganger7 on Twitch, celebrated the multi million-pound win with his\u00a023,100 followers.<\/p>\n Messages of support flooded in for the popular streamer, who tried to rip his shirt off in front of his online audience.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "This man is the real goat of poker, @GGPoker just offer him as sponsorship and create his avatar and his emoji he deserves it," one user wrote.<\/p>\n "The most humble guy I ever saw on Twitch. <\/p>\n "I wish you all the best @Girafganger7."<\/p>\n Another commented: "The moment we all dream of. <\/p>\n "Bert is so easy to root for. Get this dude a sponsorship immediately!"<\/p>\n "Such an impressive performance. What a goat," a third replied.<\/p>\n A lucky punter won \u00a31million at a casino after playing on four roulette tables at the same time.<\/p>\n The Swiss player stunned everyone when he first won \u00a331,400 with a \u00a3900 bid on number 9 last Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n Just seconds later he placed all of his winnings on another number and won an astonishing \u00a3261,000 at the Grand Casino in the town of Baden,\u00a0Switzerland.<\/p>\n Grand Casino officials said: "From then on, the table games area transformed into a real festival.<\/p>\n "The guests present were happy with the player after every win and the electric atmosphere seemed to fuel the winning streak.<\/p>\n "This continued when the player started playing on all four roulette tables at the same time."<\/p>\n The lucky man, whose identity was not disclosed, reportedly took home a total of around \u00a31 million several hours later.<\/p>\n<\/picture>LUCKY NUMBER <\/span><\/p>\n
