Dana White Wins Big On Single Baccarat Hand
UFC CEO Dana White won $1 million on a single hand of baccarat during a high-stakes gambling session at Park MGM in Las Vegas earlier this week.
White joined social media personality SteveWillDoIt, whose real name is Stephen Deleonardis, after the streamer asked for help arranging a seven-figure wager. UFC fighter Tommy McMillen was also present.
According to White, the casino agreed to accommodate both men on the condition that they wagered $1 million each and could not bet on the same side of a hand.
Deleonardis lost his initial wager before White stepped up and won his hand, beating the banker’s eight with a nine. White celebrated by directing a middle finger toward a casino security camera.
Deleonardis subsequently recovered his losses and moved into profit, with White encouraging him to cash out rather than continue gambling.
White has frequently discussed his high-stakes gambling activities, including a reported $1.2 million winning session at Fontainebleau Las Vegas last summer.
