Damn... people! 

   Lucky guy...
The logic of selling up everthing and dumping the proceeds on a table in Vegas is insane - but hell, it's his money.
Worst I ever saw were private games in a southern state (US) with some guys almost losing their complete businesses - and they were not small corps, seriously worth many millions.  A couple were Japanese CEO's/owners who seem to dump all sense when they get involved in gaming.
