Press Release Summary = Bankrupt boxer Tyson has rare opportunity to win back mansion in Poker tourney sponsored by Yorkshire\'s Dominic Marrocco.
Press Release Body = Poker Reviews Online ( http://www.poker-reviews-online.com/ ) has learned that successful Yorkshire business tycoon, Dominic Marrocco, is planning a one of a kind poker tournament that will be aired as a reality TV show. The announced prize for the poker tourney is none other than a mansion previously owned by now bankrupt heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson.
The reality show will feature a final table of four remaining tournament players plus Morrocco and Tyson, as they battle it out in a winner-take-all war at the poker table. The last player standing will walk away with Tyson\'s former mansion, which Dominic Marracco purchased last year for a cool $4 million.
Tyson, who has been in and out of trouble for many years and who has fallen on hard times financially, will have a chance to recover from his recent shortcomings. \"I think Mike would appreciate the chance to take part and win back home - as long as he doesn\'t bite anyone\'s ears\" states Marrocco.
With the spike in popularity of both reality television shows and the game of poker, this exciting event should prove to be a huge hit. Reality TV gives viewers a much needed break from cheesy sitcom one-liners and provides an opportunity to peek into real-life situations often packed with drama and controversy. Add in a mix of the World\'s hottest card game, poker, and you\'ve got a recipe for massive success.
"People might think I\'m some kind of crazy English eccentric giving away Tyson\'s house but contestants pay thousands of dollars each to enter high stakes poker tournaments plus there are the rights to the reality TV show," Marrocco said. "I have the chance to keep the house if I win the tournament..."
No matter what the outcome, this creative bit of entertainment should prove to be a huge success.
