Businessman, poker player, actor and self-proclaimed “asshole” Dan Blizerian recently took to Twitter to claim that he was playing heads-up, presumably no-limit hold’em, at stakes of $5,000-$10,000. He said he won $10.8 million in the game.
Presently, there are no other facts to backup his story, and he didn’t mention who he was playing against or where the match took place. However, Blizerain has been known to play with high-profile celebrities in underground games. So, his statement isn’t unbelievable.
Here’s a look at the Tweets:

Blizerain’s “playboy” lifestyle was recently covered by the Daily Mail. The tabloid newspaper reported that he has a net worth of around $100 million.
His partying and whatnot reportedly has come with a psyhical price, however. He has suffered multiple heart attacks, as The Daily Dot pointed out.
Bilzerian is the son of Paul Bilzerian, who, according to his Wikipedia entry, is an “American corporate takeover specialist.” He was convicted of some financial crimes.
