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 |

Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |
