Kerry Packer (now deceased) used to play baccarat for silly money (one weekend he lost $16M and he lost $28M in a few weeks in London). Anyway - Kerry loved betting big and the only place he could do it was Vegas but he liked being in private rooms with private tables. At the time he couldn't get a private room so he was in a high roller area and on a table nearby was a Texan oil millionaire surrounded by his ladies making a huge racket apparently this guy wanted to play Kerry at poker. Kerry got pretty pissed at this guy and asked him how much he was worth. The Texan said "$60M". Kerry took a coin out of his pocket and said - "I'll toss you for it". Apparently this is a true story but it was in a tournament, and it is written in Bob Stupack's book.

Yeah - there are a few versions but I am pretty sure it must have happened - even if the exact details are a bit vague.
