Heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis was spotted at the tables of the
$10,000 buy-in World Series of Poker. Reports are that the former champ had
fun but he failed to make it past day one of the WSOP main event. This years
WSOP has drawn almost 9,000 players and Lewis was considered a long shot to
win it all. "In boxing you know what cards are going to be dealt, in this
you don't" - Lennox Lewis, describing the difference between poker and
pugilism. Texan Doyle Brunson, known as the "Texas Dolly" and the author of
several poker books said "If you have been sent to the rail as Lennox Lewis
was, you still have the opportunity to play poker at sites like
DoylesPokerRoom.com." Lennox Lewis paid a surprise visit at the Doyle's Room
hospitality suite at this years WSOP.
