Russian Poker Player Gambles Away His Wife

A Russian man has lost his wife in a game of cards after putting her up as a stake instead of cash.

The man, Andrei Karpov, says he had run out of money in a game of poker so he decided to offer his opponent his wife instead of cash to stay in the game.

But when Karpov lost the game and his opponent, Sergey Brodov, turned up to claim his winnings, his wife Tatiana was so angry she decided to divorce him and started a relationship with Brodov.

And she says since she married Brodov, she does not regret leaving her first husband.

"It was humiliating and I was utterly ashamed. But as soon as my ex-husband did that I knew I had to leave him".

"Sergey was a very handsome, charming man and I am very happy with him, even if he did 'win' me in a poker game".

Now that's what you call a 'Trophy Wife'.
