New competitor in Dwan's Challenge

This has to be the most ridiculous challenge ever: a man from Iowa offered to take over vegetarian prop bet that Phil Ivey recently lost to Tom Dwan - and he accepted an addition that he has to lose 100 pounds ( around 45kg ) in the process of not eating any meat for a year.

If you dont know what we are talking about - Dwan bet against Ivey that he can not eat any meat for a year, wagering a round $1,000,000 onto it. It took just a mere 3 weeks for Ivey to break down and buy out for $150,000.

Now this is where busto poker passionates see a chance for themselves: Mike "Mikey Knuckles" Hall from Williamsburg, Iowa, a certified BBQ judge with the Kansas City Barbecue Society and a true meat lover, wants to take up the challenge. Nothing special, you would say.
But the funny fact begins when we come to the stake of the bet: if Dwan loses, he must give $1,000,000 to Mike Hall and additional $1,000,000 to the Williamsburg Public Library Fund. If Hall loses, well... he promised to give up poker and barbecue for life, and additionally - he will work at a fast food restaurant for a year. As for money value, he said he can add his custom built motorcycle to put on the line.

Hall states that the 2 million is "just a starting point" and he will be happy if Dwan accepts for $150,000 so he "has nothing to lose but Ivey's cash". Who wouldnt be interested in a bet like that, basically freerolling for a money 95% of people on the globe wont ever see?

Why would he not take it, I mean, could you imagine Mikey Knuckles going one year without meat??
LOL no way, I think its safe to say Tom will take this bet

his brother got DUI'd in his car, he had to come out of the bathroom to talk to police and sort it out.

people got the snapshot from the webcam of the guy leaving the bathroom, not sure Robl ever paid the $500 bounty for the first person to submit a picture of him leaving.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same 

Spitfiree   Bulgaria. Apr 30 2010 16:24. Posts 9634

1st of all we should hope they finish with PA in the next 1-2 years
then play vs some online player and not Ivey coz i doubt anyone d be interested in a 3 years long 50k hands challenge ...
i mean ivey normally plays 100k hands per year ....

btw i would prolly eat fruits only for a year for like 100k $ if im able to provide all the things my body needs from them .. what to talk about being a vegetarian ... and for a fatass like the guy in the picture it would be so easy for 1mil + knowing he s "fixing" his health

Silly when regular guys think they can take up the same bet as multi millionairs.
Of course it's easy when the money is 10x your net worth, obv you won't fail this but when it's only a couple percent it gets more interesting.

Could this be a way to end America's obesity epidemic? Government bets everyone overweight a million dollars to become a vegetarian for a year?

I'm a vegetarian and I wouldn't accept a bet to eat meat for a year for 1 million dollar. Not because I won't sell my principles for a million dollers but simply because I couldn't do it.
