SHANE Warne may have been spotted back with Liz Hurley, but word reaches 5am that everybody's favourite cricketing - and poker - bad boy has found another new soul mate.

The roly-poly 41-year-old, who is playing in The Aussie Millions in Melbourne, wined and dined a glamourous 44-year-old on Sunday night.

But it wasn't the English actress who had him fixated over a bottle of sweet-tasting rose.

No, step forward Mr Joe Hachem, 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event winner!

Our spies down under say Warne and Hachem, who pocketed a cool $7.5 million when he became world poker champ, took in the Australian Open tennis with a large group of friends.

"The pair are good mates and clearly enjoy each other's company," said our mole. "They were even spotted in Andy Roddick's player's box during his game against Swiss ace Stanislas Wawrinka."

Now now Liz, don't get jealous. Green really isn't your colour...
