Phil Laak did it! CONGRATS!

While most of us are sitting in our little cubicle watching the poker news to see who has won what in Vegas…tis the season (Yah WSOP)…there are actual people out there that can some how muster the time and energy to gamble excessively. My hat is off to Phil Laak for breaking the world record for the longest poker game. 10 Hours of poker is hard enough…Can you imagine 115 hours??? Holy cow!

That’s it!  Poker game at my house next week…I am going for 116! Who is in? Any one? Some one? Hello?????

Anyway, Phil not only broke the world record, but he smashed it! He beat the previous world record of 78 hours. Now that is some dedication. But wait! I’m not done…not only did he kill the previous record…but he also managed to bring home a total of $6766 (He donated half to Camp Sunshine) in winnings. Look at him trying to do something good for the community…You go Phil!

According to Steve Freiss (a freelance writer out of Vegas), Laak has been on a strict diet and exercise regime since January. Apparantly low fat meals and Yoga do a poker player good. (I’m practicing my poses later…no cameras please!)
He also did this with no stimulants of any kind. No coffee, no sodas, no meth, no energy drinks…nothing whatsoever. Phil…You are the man! Degenerate or not…you did it! We bow to your poker longevity greatness.

Now, who’s next? (I can’t get any one to come over)
