New Yorker scoops first prize and pledges to give it away, give it away now

Time for another life-changing money win story - this one with a difference though, as the winner has pledged most of his plunder to charity, sponsoring much needed surgery for kids in Guyana.

The Foxwoods Poker Classic No Limit Hold'Em Championship, which part of the World Poker Tour, drew to a close in Connecticut, USA, at the weekend with Annand "Victor" Ramdin scooping the first prize of $1,331,889 and a $25,000 seat to the WPT Championship.

The event was held at the largest gaming facility on the east coast of America, Foxwoods Resort Casino, and drew a big field of 430 players, with the televised six-player final table being staged in the Grand Pequot Ballroom.
