Hello Poker, Goodbye Yacht


What would you loose in a poker game? Tickets to that anime expo you've been waiting for? The first picture of Julia Roberts' tattoo? $500,000?

If you answered yes to $500,000 then you and Russian billionaire and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich have a lot in common. Supposedly he lost his yacht in a game of poker. However, don't feel bad for him... he had more than one! Not surprisingly a Abramovich spokesman denied the whole thing; it is a little embarrassing.

According to Abramovich he was never in Barcelona where other news sources are claiming the poker game was lost. He also claims he never lost the 500,000 dollars yacht and that he will take legal actions.

I guess the poker chips are against the guy who the British call "The Roman Navy" because of the hundreds of million dollar yacht collection. However, as much as he denies it everyone knows that the guy has poker "habit". He’s admitted it himself.
