The rumor is that an 8 year old kid that lives in Chandigarh India won 22,912,500.38 in Indian Rupees playin’ a friendly game of online poker. That’s about 500,000.00. The family, according to a story we dug up today, claims Aashish Nanak is a boy genius when it comes to computers and the internet.
According to his mom, the child has been using the internet since he was 3 while his mom cleaned hotels. By age 4 he was .. building web pages. Nanak apparently started playing Internet Poker when he was just six.
Mrs Nanak said, according to sources: ‘He has always loved the internet and computers he started his own web pages when he was only four years old, he is a very clever boyâ€Â
The article in question does not name the poker site where Nanak won the 500k. It does reveal however that the boy was playing on an uncles account, and that the families attorney’s are fighting the poker rooms decision not to pay the child. The lawyers argue that the poker sites terms and conditions do not specifically say that a child can not play under an uncle’s account.
Do you think an 8 year old kid could have won 500K playing online poker?
Perhaps his uncle won big and the Indian authorities wouldn’t like it to much?
Should the poker room pony up?
What do you suppose happens to the confiscated $500k?
