Shane Warne’s Ugly But Pleasingly Reflective Magic Sunglasses Result In Big Wins At The World Series Of Poker Tournament

Shane Warne is kicking goals (or should I say ‘bowling poker opponents out for a duck’?*) at the World Series Of Poker tournament in Las Vegas. Go Shane!

Says the big blonde man himself…

“I was going really well after the first break – I had $25,000 in chips – but then I lost one big hand of $10,000,” he said. Half an hour later his luck returned, with the 38-year-old winning a monster $29,000 pot five hours into play.

Warne said he was surprised by how mentally sapping the first day of play had been. The cricket legend has been relying on music from his iPod to keep his energy levels high.

“I’ll probably collapse tonight – I’m exhausted,” he said.

What I’d give to know the songs featured on Shane’s poker winning playlist… I’m sensing some Cold Chisel, and I’d bet all the money I have in the world – all seven dollars! – on Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer making an appearance too.

But the iPod wasn’t Shane’s secret weapon during the comp, it would seem.

The sports star donned reflective sunglasses to hide his eyes.

Booyah! And check out how amazing Warney looks in those sunnies!

I hope he can manage to read text messages while wearing those. Still waiting on a reply, Shane – I am totally okay with letting you kick my puppy!
