Holy man wins $100k

Who'da thunk it?
Last week we brought you the story of South Carolina priest Father Andrew Trapp being accepted to compete in the PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge. If his audition tape was anything to go by, he wasn't going to last long at the tables.
Well, we couldn't have been more wrong!
Trapp ended up defeating not only NBA Champion John Salley, and Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Rousso, but also four-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu. I bet that there aren't too many priests who can say they've done that.
The good Father picked up $100,000 for his troubles, and now has a chance to head back to the tables in December for the $1,000,000 grand prize.
True to his word, Trapp immediately donated all of his winnings to the St. Michael's Church in Southern California. His goal for a new church is currently $1.5 million short, so you can bet your bottom dollar that he will be out to win come the end of the year.
You too can join in on the Million Dollar Challenge at PokerStars, so head on over, sign up, and submit a quick 2-minute video for your chance to topple "Father Rambo" in the finals.
