$40 million, Poker\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Across the pond, here\u2019s a story about a now-famous high-stakes gambler, and his legendary win. In 1992, Archie Karas lost $2 million during a game of poker, and headed to Vegas with just $50 in his pocket. A lover of gambling, this small monetary amount didn\u2019t stop him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Borrowing $10,000 he played one of the more high stakes casino games. Winning game after another, by the end of the day he won $17 million. Karas paid off his $10,000 debt with 50 per cent interest. His winning streak lasted three years, and he ended up with $40 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
