Becker Bankrupt; Gordonas takes down £1m GTD partypoker LIVE Grand Prix

Two stories imbibed with a partypoker flavour as the three-time Wimbledon winner, Boris Becker, is declared bankrupt, and Robertas Gordonas takes the £150,000 first prize in the £1m GTD partypoker LIVE Grand Prix UK in Nottingham.

Who can forget a 17-year old Boris Becker diving, racket in hand, on Wimbledon’s Centre Court as he went on to become the iconic tournament’s youngest ever winner?

On Wednesday, Becker’s reputation also took a dive. It didn’t look as good, and the only racket was coming from the throats of the people that filled The Bankruptcy and Companies Court in London.

The three-time Wimbledon champion’s reputation was taking a beating after private bankers Arbuthnot Latham & Co made a bankruptcy application against the former German tennis ace, relating to a debt dating back to 2015.
