Fat Man’s Bizarre claim
Fauad al-Zayat a 20 stone Syrian billionaire who has lost an estimated £191,000,000 in London casinos over a 15 year period was quoted in the Sunday Observer 14th September as saying “ I am not a gambling addict “
Following a dispute with a croupier at Aspinalls in March 2006 when the Fat Man lost £2,000,000 in a single night ( I am not addicted ) Aspinalls have been instructed to return the losses as they illegally allowed him credit when his losses were already in dispute.

Al-Zayat claims to have stopped gambling , so his regular £5000 tips to the croupier will be sorely missed.

Poker Tip.
Whilst I can only praise Dave Cain for his magnificent effort in raising £10,000 for charity and breaking the world record for continuous poker play, playing poker when physically and mentally tired can never be recommended.
