Bobby Neary is an online poker player at Party Poker. The 21-year-old recently scored a major success in winning a berth at the Aussie Millions poker tournament through a Party Poker online satellite qualifier. Neary made the most of his opportunity, turning it into a 2nd-place finish at the Australian poker tournament, worth a whopping $520,000. Unbeknownst to him, however, the terms he agreed to in receiving Party Poker's prize obligated him to allegedly violate NCAA sponsorship rules, thus jeopardizing his golf scholarship.
Neary is better known outside the online poker world for his skills on the golfing greens at Sonoma State University in California. Upon learning that Neary wore items bearing the Party Poker logo and agreed to let Party Poker use his image and voice while at the Aussie Millions, the NCAA disqualified him as "athletically ineligible" to compete in golf events for his university team. Sonoma State is currently petitioning the NCAA to readmit Neary to collegiate golf, but in case that doesn't work out, Neary can at least take up online poker as more than just a hobby. With a bankroll of over half a million dollars to play with, he stands to make a lot more greens anyhow.
