Count Potocki Loses Record 800000 in Viennese Card Game
In the Vienna Jockey Club rooms Count Joseph Potocki dropped 800000 in four hours at baccarat while opponents Von Szemere and Prince Braganza built large takes. The emperor censured Golouchowski for not curbing the play and authorities moved to limit Potocki and top winners from leaving Vienna. The Jockey Club closed after the episode and gambling notices were defied.
