Tennis Star Boris Becker In Today's Field

Former #1 tennis player in the world Boris Becker is in the tournament field this afternoon.  Retired from the sport since 1997, Becker has found a new way to exercise his competitive spirit – poker.

A Team PokerStars Pro since 2007, the German tennis player plays a handful of EPT events. However, he is making a rare appearance in an American poker tournament here at the WPT Championship.
