There’s a new leader of the Online Poker World Championship. After a very long time under command of Team Europe, the throne has been taken by the Team Australia-Asia-Africa thanks to their top poker warlord Mario “oMUZZAo” Tomic, who after an amazing display of poker skills and discipline has been able to make it to the highest position of the World Ranking just some days before the Period I ends.
The News Team had the pleasure to talk with him: a friendly Croatian/Slovenian living in Australia, with a nice sense of humor and an altruistic view of life. This is what he said:
Hi Mario, congratulations on your amazing achievement: ¡¡¡Number 1 on the Ranking!!!
