Durrrr-Watch 2010: Helicopter Prop Bet

June 11, 2010 by  
Filed under poker news

During Day 2 of the 2-7 Lowball World Championship, Dwan made a new side bet with Chris Ferguson and John Juanda.  Dwan’s bet laid 800-1 that he would win the 2-7 event, and Huck Seed would take down the $1,500 Seven Card Stud tournament that starts tonight. 

After some discussion around the table, both Ferguson and Juanda happily took the bet.  Ferguson agreed to put in $1,000, and Juanda was in it for $2,000. 

After Ferguson and Juanda were in, Dwan announced, “If I win, I’m going to buy a helicopter.  How much are one of those?” 

Mark Weitzman responded, “Obama bought a few for 5 million apiece.” 

Dwan chuckled a bit and said, “Well, I’m not going to buy one of those ones.” 

With the smaller 2-7 field, it is possible for Dwan to take down the event.  However, this isn’t his strongest game, and there is a lot of experience left to sift through.  Huck Seed, on the other hand, is facing a field of 370 players, and he has a strong mixed game background. 

It will truly be a feat against the odds if both players can pull off a bracelet win in their events.

WSOP Random Observation #6 – Poker with the Stars

June 9, 2010 by  
Filed under poker news

Take a walk by the Pavilion Room, however, and you’ll see a whole bunch of spectators, writers and TV personnel crowded around Table #371 Red.

The $5k No-Limit Hold’em event started today in the Amazon Room, and early in Day 1 a dream table for spectators came together, right by the rail for everyone to get a look.

At last check we  had Phil Hellmuth, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, David Williams and Shannon Elizabeth all at the same table.

Some of the tables right around the area are being broken up as we speak, so we don’t know how much longer it’s going to last.

We caught up to the table just as the TV cameras were catching Hellmuth telling a bad beat story, to no one in particular.

“He had kings,” Hellmuth was saying. “All the money in the pot. Blah Blah Blah.”

Hellmuth actually said the ‘Blah Blah Blah’ part, and although we missed most of the story, whatever it was had at least one player at the table cracking up.

Looks like we’ll have to wait for the TV coverage to hear the entire tale from Hellmuth.
