He lost it before he gambled. This guy made a bundle...I mean a bundle...in shady biz dealing. Not sure of the details. Here's the full copy of the original post.

"You know whats worse than losing $10,000 playing pool??? -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll tell you. Losing the cash, I litterly lost $10,000 in cash. Its gone poof into to thin air. I took the $$ from the bank, thought I put it in my cue case. nope not there, ok maybe my duffel bag, nope not there. Man my brain is gone-I been running cold for a while now but this is rediclous. If I lost it on a bet, so what I had action-but to just lose it for nothing hurts more than I ever thought. I took it out of the bank to use for action. Now I dont even want to play. "

Be assured, in the pool world, there are money matches for $10,000 and beyond.
And most of these guys don't like checks...

I once watched a match on live stream...Shane Van Boening vs. "Hennesee from Tennesee". A race to 10 ahead in 9 ball. After it was over, Van Boening reached up on the table light, took down a rubber banded pile of 100's, and started counting. I was told is was $50,000. Wasn't verified, but it WAS quite a stack of bills.
