It's the sport of kings - Nepal's King Gyanendra turns to poker

No longer just the domain of university students, the desperate poor, and those with either the skills or bots to take advantage of the first two groups, online poker is finally making some in-roads into the monarchy. Welcome King Gyanendra of Nepal.

The 60-year-old monarch, whose gamble to follow in the footsteps of his father and revive the era of all-powerful kings crashed after a nationwide revolt, is now trying his luck at poker and blackjack on the Internet, the Jana Aastha weekly reported Wednesday.

After losing control of the government and the army, suffering health problems ranging from depression and insomnia to high blood-pressure, and now facing the total abolition of the monarchy, Gyanendra naturally decided that it would be a shame to waste this run of good luck.
