Yorkshire businessman Dominic Marrocco, who has initiated and maintained friendly contact with Tyson after purchasing his estate and grounds, is planning a televised poker tournament that offers Tyson’s former mansion as the grand prize.
In a combined poker show and resality TV show, participating contestants will pay thousands of dollars to play They will compete against one another until all but four have been eliminated. Marrocco and Tyson will sit in with the four survivors in a short handed poker game with the winner becoming the official owner of the million dollar mansion. Should Marrocco not be the winner, he will still be hanging around. The $4 million purchase of the estate property included a mansion one lot over, which was restored to serve as Marrocco’s home.
