Celine Dion's husband, René Angélil, has been seriously gambling, and he's losing.

In Las Vegas yesterday, there were 50 players left on Day 5 of the World Series of Poker at the Rio Casino, but the real action has been at the Bellagio's high-roller room, where Angélil and local pros are regulars at the highest-stakes tables in town. Over recent nights Angélil dumped about $350,000 to pros Jennifer Harmon and Johnny Chan, famous for his cameo in the movie "Rounders."

"Whenever René leaves for dinner, the table breaks up — he's dead money, but he's getting better," one pro said.

--Good thing Celine can easily make up for it.
