From The Sun (UK): Banker Talal Shakerchi joined five other
fat cats who each staked 500,000 euros (£424,112) for an unofficial game at the
European Poker Tour in Monaco last weekend.
The 49-year-old, who is worth an estimated £100million, has won more
than £1million in past tournaments.
But luck was not on his side last Saturday when he lost the
eye-watering amount during the high-stakes game. Guests were said to be unaware that
Shakerchi, another British amateur and four of the world's top poker players
were playing for pots of one million euros (£848,225) at a time….
After losing the small fortune, Sharkerchi said to the
remaining two players: “Goodbye, see you guys tomorrow.”
