Poker Player Accidentally Sells Wife's $23,000 Wedding Ring For $10 At Garage SaleEric Cloutier Makes Huge Mistake Earlier This Month |
|
Poker player Eric Cloutier made headlines this week for accidentally selling his wife’s wedding ring — reportedly valued at $23,000 — for just $10 at a neighborhood garage sale.
Note: Cloutier deleted a Tweet that was originally embedded in this article. The Tweet referred to the lady who reportedly bought the ring as “shady.”
Cloutier’s wife, Racquel, was in the hospital at the time of the sale. She had taken off her ring and put it in a box prior to her hospital visit, but when she returned she discovered a problem.
“I go into my husband’s closet, can’t find the box, and then he tells me he sold it. I said, ‘You sold it? What do you mean you sold it?’ I immediately started crying,” Racquel Cloutier told ABC News. “I’m very, very, very upset. I’m trying to remain optimistic but I don’t know anymore. There’s a small chance whoever bought the box doesn’t know the ring is in there.”
Eric Cloutier is a former professional hockey player. He has more than $550,000 in career tournament earnings. He finished runner-up in a 2010 World Series of Poker event.
On Wednesday, less than two weeks after the incident, Cloutier said on Twitter that he is thinking about coming to the World Series of Poker, currently underway in Las Vegas.
