According to eyewitness reports, the frequent patron was ecstatic after striking it big before quickly growing overwhelmed. He collapsed and emergency medical personnel were supposedly unable to resuscitate him following a suspected cardiac event.
Unfortunately, these types of incidents are not a rare occurrence at gambling properties. In February a poker player named John Grace suffered a heart attack after winning a pot while playing a cash game at the JACK Casino in Ohio.
Thankfully a Cleveland Clinic doctor was sitting at a nearby table and quickly began performing CPR before using a defibrillator. Grace eventually regained his pulse and has made a good recovery.
