Jigga What?

14 Jan, 2008 Poker Gossip

Rumor has it that rapper Shawn Carter (more commonly known as Jay-Z) lost $500K in a high stakes poker game in Vegas. According to a report by MediaTakeout.com, Jigga tried to bully the other players at the table with his pair of queens, only to run into another players’ nut flush.

A person who was in attendance at the game told MediaTakeOut.com, “It was supposed to be a friendly game with everyone betting only [a few hundred dollars] a hand … Jay Z was down only about [a thousand dollars] when he raised [another player] $500,000.”

The insider went on to say that there were poker pros at the table, and Jay-Z’s queens were clearly dominated by another players’ nut flush.

Jay, you should stick to making music and leave poker for the big boys.
