3-Barrels: Shane Warne Closes Charity; TCOOP and HoldemX News

Three barrels of pure value as Australian cricket legend Shane Warne closes down his charity amid donation controversy; a Swiss player wins record Turbo Championships of Online Poker Main Event, and an alpha version of HoldemX debuts this week.

Three pearls of poker parlance for you and we will start with the Australian cricket legend, hot woman magnet, and former 888 sponsored pro Shane Warne.

Warne’s name has been in the headlines a lot these past few months. There has been a few snippets about him trying to hone in on a Page 3 model, but most of the news has centered around his non-profit created to raise money for children in need: The Shane Warne Foundation.

The cricket legend’s woes began when a journalist started poking a nose into the passage of funds throughout the foundation and found that only 16 cents in the dollar was being handed to those that needed it. The tails of the consumer watchdog started to wag in earnest.
