Shane Warne is a busy man. He is still one of the best cricketers in the world and has been one of the real stars in the Indian Premier League. Then he has his family, business and commentating commitments to fit in as well. You think that would be enough for the ‘King of Spin’ but one of Warnie's greatest loves is poker. Even when he is on the road you can usually catch him at night in his hotel room with his laptop plugged in honing his skills at 888Poker.

The next few months will see Warne jet setting all over the world chasing his poker dream. First he is hosting his very own tournament at Crown Casino, the ‘Shane Warne Celebrity Bounty Event’ on Sunday 14 June. The tournament is open to anyone and only cost $550. This not only gives you a chance of playing poker with Warney and a long list of his celebrity mates, it also presents a chance to win a package to this year’s WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas. The $20,000 packages include everything you will need to have the trip of a lifetime. You will be a member of Team 888 where you will begin your journey to win the biggest prize in poker. So head down to Crown Casino for your chance to travel over to the US and play some poker (and party it up) with Warney.

If that wasn’t enough to keep Warney busy, as soon as he finishes the WSOP and the 888 Bounty Event, he will be travelling over to England to take on the Poms. No unfortunately he hasn’t been recalled to the Aussie cricket team, even though they desperately need him, he will be taking on the Poms in the 2009 Poker Ashes. Some of Australia and England’s best cricketers will team up with some lucky 888poker players to battle it out for the first ever televised Poker Ashes. How does Warney manage to fit it all in?
