Student wins $1 million from poker LAS
VEGAS, NV -- Matt Matros, a graduate student from New York, used his
gambling winnings -- about $1 million -- to pay for his Yale and Sarah
Lawrence education. The 26-year-old
student, whose game is poker, scored $706,903 in winnings at the World
Poker Tour Championship in Las Vegas, the New York Post reported. "When
I started playing this game, there were plenty of people who told me I
was wasting my time, that I had a gambling problem," he said. "But
I discovered I was good at it. And there's so much money to be made --
millions." Matros
said he was looking for a way to pay his student loans as a math major
at Yale, so he joined a student poker club and after he became its top
player, he moved on to the casinos in Connecticut and Atlantic City, N.J. Now that
Matros has paid off his student loans he's about to buy a condominium
in Brooklyn. He's also publishing a book, "The Making of a Poker Player," from Citadel Press.
