René Dif has become the first casualty of the Unibet Open London. Dif gained prominence as the lead singer of the Danish band Aqua, famous for their monster hit "Barbie Girl". Jumping straight from the aquarium to make a splash on the green felt didn't exactly go as planned, though.

According to his (former) table mate Gerrit Van Lancker, a player bet 300 on a {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop. Dif made it 10,000 to go, the initial better went all in for 30,000 and Dif called it off.

Dif held {A-}{Q-} for just ace-high and his opponent tabled {J-}{J-} for a set of jacks. Neither turn nor river was a ten, giving Dif plenty of time to party with Barbie.
