Sidebets 2.0
Published April 27, 2009I was watching the episodes of PAD again and another conversation arised about sidebets. Now it didn’t concern one of the players sitting on the exclusive table, but the visiting Phil Hellmuth!
So Phil and Chad Brown (introduced by Phil as the following: ‘so you’re going out with Vanessa Rousso’^^) are passing by to have a little talk with Shana Hiatt and give their comments on the action. Then Howard asks if Phil ever lost a bowling ball:
LOL so Phil betted 20k (which also is the buy-in of the winner takes all tournament) on himself to win every Poker After Dark he appeared on 
. Phil for President!
Howard Lederer gets pwned!
Published April 24, 2009I enjoyed watching some episodes of Season 2 of Poker After Dark today . Main reason for watching those ones was the appearance of one of my heroes on the shorthanded tournament table: Gabe Kaplan. Of course every poker fanatic knows him for his commentary on High Stakes Poker, but Gabe likes to play for himself too.
Suddenly a table discussion rises about the brilliant movie The Big Lebowksi. Gabe decides to make a bet with Howard Lederer on the release date of the movie ^^ (starts about at 5’45″):
So Lederer is waaaaaaaaay off here! First he says Vanessa Rousso was only eight when the movie came out but I thought he just made a reasonably good joke there, considering the sense of humour of Mr. Lederer. But then he seriously thinks it was released in 1992 . And he even dares to laugh at Gabe’s heroic bet offer: a bowling ball!
H: What would I do with a new bowling ball?
G:Play hockey?
Gabe Kaplan is a hero!!
