Poker Pro Dave Colclough Dumps Wife After Cheating Incident

On April 8, 2007, Scottish beauty, Rhowena Colclough, the main star of a television poker show was thrown out of the home she shared with her poker pro husband, Dave Colclougher, after he caught her in bed with another man.

43 year old Dave, who has won about 2 million pounds by playing poker, posted that his wife cheated on him with another man on his website blog. The message, which has been removed, stated that he caught his wife with his 26 year old friend. Dave, who is considered Europe's top player of the game of poker, threw the pair out and has changed the locks in their home.

He said that the news is true. He caught the pair after coming home from Monte Carlo last week. Dave later apologized for putting that message on his web site. Rhowena Colclough, who is the host of Poker 425, was celebrating her 27th Birthday when she brought a friend to their home in Birmingham.

Colclough, who considers Tobey Maguire as a poker buddy, added that he now considers himself single again. Before marrying Rhowena, he had one daughter Sian from his first wife, Anna. A friend to the pair said that there has been a lot of speculation on what went wrong between Dave and Rhowena.

The friend added that there is an age gap between the pair, but he is a good guy and there is no doubt he will not remain single for long after this split. Dave, a former computer programmer, was part of the Glasgow Poker Club that was raided by police officer who firmly believed that the owners of the club were receiving illegal cuts from the wagers that their members put in every game. That Cincinnati Poker Club was supported by Colclough, but he has now pulled out of his business interest in Scotland.
