Mikka Anttonen's Foolish Poker Bet Cost Him $10,000
Mikka Anttonen is a Finnish poker professional with million-dollar winnings. He once made a bet with a friend that if one of them won a six-figure cash prize in a tournament, they would give the other 10% of the winnings. Mikka Anttonen won €76,326 in a tournament, but his friend won $100,030, so Mikka had to give his friend $10,000.
