Andrei Karpov from Murmansk ran out of money in a game of poker he offered his opponent his wife instead of cash to stay in the game.
When he lost the game his opponent Sergey Brodov turned up to claim his winnings. Tatiana his wife was so angry she decided to divorce her husband and started a relationship with Brodov. So the old adage did not hold true - Brodov was both lucky in cards and love!
