US gambler spent £120,000 on a 30 litre bottle of champagne at a London club, the most expensive ever.

Don Johnson, a professional gambler and businessman, chalked up a £168,118 bill when he paid a visit to Park Lane's OneForOne nightclub on Sunday night.
However, according to a friend, the 49-year-old bon viveur - known as The Champagne King - doesn't even like the taste of champagne.
Mr Johnson, who was in town visiting rock star pal Bon Jovi, heard the nightclub had recently commissioned the biggest bottle of champagne ever made, the Armand De Brignac Midas - equivalent to 40 regular bottles which weighs 45kg.
After polishing off a £25,000 six litre bottle of champage, Johnson moved on to the mammoth Midas, taking up a microphone and whipping the club into a frenzy.
Nik Krasniqi, floor manager at the £950-a-year members club, said: "Everyone was gathered round his table and he was on the microphone singing Bon Jovi songs, screaming I love London.

"He was hugging the bottle and everyone in the club was going wild.
"When he left, the ceiling, the floor and everyone in the club was covered in champagne.
"His goal is to be the biggest spender ever in nightclubs all over the world.
"He is in Vegas and he wanted to do it in London.
"He likes to party very, very hard. He had the microphone and was screaming Don Mother Fucking Johnson over and over."
Johnson's lifestyle manager, Sophie Raibin, said along with champagne, the millionaire loves to shower people with his generosity.
She said: "The last time Don was in London he spent more than £100,000 in a week.
"This time he did it on one night.
"He has spent millions of pounds on champagne in his life, he gives away and just wants people to have fun.
"He doesn't like to drink champagne, although he had quite a lot to drink last night.
"He's not acquired the taste, he prefers to drink vodka.
"His favourite thing is the microphone, he is known for it and he loves it.
"He is very good at getting a crowd going. You've got to see it to believe it."
Sophie said the enormous bottle proved difficult to get into after the cork snapped twice.
Sophie said: "In the end we had to get some pliers to get it out.
"It took a while but when it opened it went everywhere, every single person in the room was sprayed.
"The crowd went ballistic I've never seen anything like it."
The previous record for most expensive bottle of champagne sold at One for One was held by the Armand De Brignac (Ace of Spades) Nebuchadnezzar, a 15 litre bottle, which was bought by an anonymous customer for £80,000.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
