The owner of Chelsea football club, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, lost his yacht playing poker. He can afford it but his passion for poker might cost him a lot more.

He lost his yacht in Casino Barcelona last week when he attended to the Champions League match between Barcelona and his own football club Chelsea.

Roman Abramovich, who is a passionate poker player, lost his yacht at the poker table, according to the Russian paper Moskovskij Komsomolets. The yacht is estimated to approximately $500,000 - but Abramovich can afford it. His private boat collection has an estimated value of approximately 125 Million dollars.

”Poker or me”
However his passion for poker might cost him much more. His new girlfriend Daria Zjukova, who caused the divorce between Roman and his ex wife, doesn´t seem to be particular keen in his hobby, writes the Russian newspaper.

After the latest poker loss it says that she has given him an ultimatum: "Poker or me"!
