THERE IS news from John Stolzmann, the 23-year-old UW-Madison senior who in January won close to $1.5 million playing poker, and the news is not just that the World Poker Tour event that Stolzmann won is being televised Wednesday on the Travel Channel at 8 p.m.
….The real news from Stolzmann is that he is no longer a UW-Madison student. In the aftermath of his victory, Stolzmann had said he intended to graduate on schedule this spring, but he told me Monday that so many poker opportunities came with the victory that he changed his plans.
