Dele Alli Loses Over 6 Million Baht in Poker, Pro Players Label Him a 'Whale'

Daily Mail reports that Dele Alli has lost over 170,000 euros, or about 6.3 million baht, from playing poker, with some nights seeing losses of 25,000 euros or around 930,000 baht. Dele Alli, an English midfielder currently a free agent after parting ways with Como in Italy's Serie A due to Cesc Fabregas's lack of confidence in him, has been regularly playing poker late at night at the Victoria Casino in London for several weeks. Professional poker players have started calling him a 'whale', a term used in poker circles for new players who consistently lose large amounts of money. One professional poker player revealed, 'We all hope Dele shows up at the casino, because catching a whale is the dream of every serious player. He's been coming almost every day for the past two weeks.'
