Former Real Madrid Star Thomas Gravesen Loses $54 Million in Poker
Thomas Gravesen, a former footballer for Real Madrid, is known for his aggressive style on the field. However, his poker game has also made headlines. Gravesen recently revealed that he lost $54 million in a single high-stakes poker session.
Gravesen, who retired from football in 2008, now lives in a luxurious gated home in Las Vegas with his wife, Czech model Kamila Perse. Despite his massive loss, Gravesen claims to have won over $100 million from poker. He often plays high-stakes cash games in Las Vegas' upscale casinos.
In an interview, Gravesen mentioned that he quickly recouped the $54 million loss and even won more. If his claims are true, Gravesen can enjoy the sunny climate of Nevada and a comfortable retirement.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
