A billionaire gambler known as the 'Fat Man' has won a bid to avoid paying a GBP 2 million debt to an exclusive casino. Businessman Fouad al-Zayat totted up the massive loss in just one night's play at the roulette and blackjack tables at Aspinall's in London. But the 66-year-old withheld payment after a row over a croupier. Last year the Syrian-born gambler - one of an estimated 180 high-rolling international gamblers known as 'whales' - was told by a judge to pay up.
