Muslims are forbidden from gambling by their religion but Mr Hussain said: "I don't think poker is gambling.

of course he would be correct if no money was involved it would just be playing cards

mind you another lucky sod a few years ago won 10 million i think it was on the lottery but at least he admited it was gambling but then again with 10 million in the bank i could change my views on religeon in a hearbeat

glad they also posted his adress and buisness details i could do with a smal loan

oh hang on i read further down and theres an explination

"I think it is a game of skill and I have never been down in money stakes.

Judith Keppel, a cousin of Camilla Parker-Bowles, was from a wealthy background, but said she was on her uppers, and wasn't a millionairess, when she won Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Nice to see she didn't spend her winnings having that funny thing on her lip fixed.
