The Daily Mail captured video of a horrifying fire on Saturday of an 88-foot luxury yacht reportedly owned by Spanish poker pro Diego Gomez Gonzalez.

It's unclear if Gonzalez, who has nearly $500,000 in live tournament cashes according to The Hendon Mob, was onboard at the time of the incident, but reports have indicated that all 17 individuals — five crew members and 12 passengers — who were on the boat survived. Only one crew member required medical attention due to minor burns.
