As I told before I organized with Nimzo a jackpot bltiz system. When the
jackpot reached 500 ATS (50 $) there was a queue of GMs who wanted to
play.
This was during the tournament and they had their own games running. They
did not care about their own games anymore, the only wanted the jackpot.
They are gambling-junkies. A lot of German GMs have now practically
stopped
serious chess and play on internet poker.
That reminds me of Jimmy Cha. A professional go player (and strong!),
at the same time world-class poker player.

There is another famous example in Backgammon. Paul Magriel "x-22",
world-champion and author of the classical backgammon introduction.
