We have our first winner in our contest to send three people to Vegas to stay at the Bellagio and take on a sleepy Phil Laak.
Unabomber Poker is sending three people to Vegas for chance to play in a cash game against Phil Laak as he attempts to break the Guinness World Record for longest poker session ever played. The first winner has just been picked. Congratulations to Unabomber Poker player Daryl Waite!
Daryl will be flown down to Vegas and provided with a room at the Bellagio as he gets to take a crack at some heads up cash game action with Phil Laak in his sleep deprived state.
Daryl won the writing portion of the contest with a jaunty little poem he wrote. His winning poem is posted below.
Hello there Phil, my name is Waite.
It sounds to me like this challenge will be great.
Here is why in your semi-conscious state
you will remember me as your finest table mate.
While breaking the record will be a huge beat,
your heads up play I will mightily defeat.
I will pour you some coffee to keep you awake
while you call your backers and ask for a stake.
80 hours is more than three days,
so you'll have plenty of time to count all the ways
to re-build your roll after sitting with me
when I tear you apart for being so nit-tee.
You may not recall but we've played once before,
last year in Shelton, a town near the shore.
I outplayed you then and I will once again,
but it's not my main goal to cause you great pain.
The good news for you is the record you'll slash,
and once it's all done and I have all your cash,
and I'm out at the clubs with my friends enjoying some booze
you'll have plenty of time for a much needed snooze.
So I look forward to our match as I'm sure you do too.
Nothing short of a new record for the big book will do.
Jen will be so proud of her man for his feat,
and with my new winnings I'll buy a World Series seat.
