Jake Cody, a 29-year old poker professional, won a 'high roller' $4,200 buy-in tournament at the party
poker UK Poker Championships for $81,680 this weekend, before deciding he needed more.
Instead of celebrating with a bottle of champagne and a night on the town, Cody headed to the roulette wheel to wager all of his winnings. With a massive crowd gathered, he put the full $81,680 (and the trophy) on black.
Dusk Till Dawn casino owner Rob Yong spun the ball and with the crowd chanting "Black! Black! Black!," the ball fell on Black 22.
