HEADLINE: Chips were down for poker champion

Body:
A 31-YEAR-OLD player with just $250 to his name is $300,000 richer after winning one of the world's largest poker tournaments last night.

Rodney Davidson's financial situation was so dire his car was on the verge of being repossessed when he won the Australian Poker League event at Luna Park.

Mr Davidson, who began playing poker two years ago at a friend's house on Friday nights, edged out 230 other competitors.

"You never know what your next card is going to be," Mr Davidson, of Bega, said.

"One minute you're up, the next minute you might come crashing down."

Mr Davidson said he planned on investing his winnings in real estate.

Hundreds of poker fans watched the event, which had a total prize pool of $1million. Singer Shannon Noll performed as the new face of the Australian Poker League at the event, which attracted players from around Australia, while sportsmen such as Willie Mason mingled with the 800 guests.

The games were played against a backdrop of growing concern about the NSW Government's review into the booming industry in pubs and clubs.
