It might have been how they got together but Pamela Anderson and new husband Rick Salomon have reportedly had their first big fight over his poker playing - even though he was winning.

According to the Sun, Rick gambled many thousands of dollars during a game with Richard Branson during the Virgin Atlantic party at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.

An onlooker told the newspaper: “Rick must have been playing for a good hour and Pam did not look impressed.”

“Every time he decided he’d had enough he would throw all his chips in at once - but he just kept winning. This must have happened three or four times - all the chips would go in and he would scoop the lot.”

“Pamela walked over to the table in the middle of the game. There were couple of cameras there, so they smiled for pictures and gave each other a token peck on the cheek, but when that was done the argument started.”

“Pamela did not look impressed. Maybe she didn’t like being left on her own for so long while Rick played poker. She walked away from him, back to the VIP booth and he went after her.”

“They carried on rowing in there. It was obvious they were arguing - she was frowning and her hand gestures were really exaggerated. She was waving her arms around and had an angry look on her face. So much for married bliss.”

The couple married at the weekend after their long-term friendship turned to romance after Pamela paid off her gambling debt to Rick with a kiss.
