Poker News reports that one recent PartyPoker.net winner has taken his faith in luck to a whole new level in a poker tournament.
Winner Bruce Bartfield is convinced that his cat Sadie brought him good fortune and the winner’s prize of a super-expensive Ferrari F430 Coupe with a 4.3-litre, V8 engine.
“I was really short stacked. Then Sadie decided to jump up and sit on my lap and my luck changed for the better,” said the 52 year old Churchville, Maryland player, who owns a pet store when he’s not winning tournaments.
According to PartyPoker.net spokesperson Warren Lush, Bartfield’s victory was another big win for the small guy.
“Bruce’s story shows how ordinary guys can go all the way in poker and win fantastic prizes. We’ve invited him and Sadie to join us on the PartyPoker V Cruise around the Cayman Islands in March, where they’ll have a shot at a $5 million prize pool.”
After learning the game and playing Texas Hold’em with friends, Bartfield decided to give the Internet a go. “A friend of mine kept telling me to play online, but I was cynical.”
