I know this is not poker related but still a worthy story...

Money-Back specialists Paddy Power have fallen victim of their own generosity in sensational style tonight and are facing a record €1.5million (£1.2million) refund on the Champions League Final.

The fun-loving' Irish Bookie pledged to refund losing bets on the final if player of the year and Champions League top goal scorer Cristiano Ronaldo found the back of the net anytime over the 90 minutes. Powers didn't have to wait too long with Ronaldo living up to his £100m price tag and finding the back of the Chelsea net in the 26th minute.

Paddy Power himself said: "Well done Ronaldo, another new record set this year; the maker of the biggest ever Money-Back refund! The only thing I'll be making around here for the foreseeable future is the tea!". Paddy Power currently has the "Wonder Boy" priced at 9-1 to be Top Goalscorer in their Euro 2008 Betting.
