It seems to have been coming a while back, but now Australian cricket player Shane Warne has made it official - he is retiring from cricket for poker. Warne, who represents www.888.com, has already had conflicts with playing poker, despite a leadership position on his team. Now the 38 year old cricket legend has officially backed away from the sport that made his fortune as he tries for a different kind of fortune. Warne will be playing poker in this year's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, Nevada.
