Sun City Million poker event won by the man known as "Rhino".

Ryan Dreyer outlasted 271 other players to win the Sun City Million poker tournament in South Africa.

The ex-golfer who goes by the nickname of "Rhino" picked up a prize of $350,000 (£198,000) for his exploits.

Famous faces such as cricketer Shane Warne and American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth were also involved in the event.

Reflecting on his triumph, Dreyer told Poker Listings: "The field was very strong by South African standards.

"There were a host of international players including numerous Scandinavians and also some world renowned players like Patrik Antonius."

Poker professional Michael Binger was also involved, but was knocked out before the end - something Dreyer was pleased about, as he was a "tough" opponent.

Dreyer used to play golf on the Sunshine Tour in South Africa, as well as a number of US and Canadian tours.
