FANCY DRESS AT WSOP MAIN EVENT
Losing this bet involved a few costume changes!
When Joe Sebok lost a bet to his friend and fellow poker pro Gavin Smith he
had to arrange several unusual costume changes for his appearances in the
four opening days of Main Event matches at the World Series of Poker this
week.
Four opening days were needed just to get through the record 8 725 entrants
for this year's final event in a competitive process called "The Meat
Grinder" aimed at reducing this vast field to a final table of 9, all of
whom will emerge from the tournament with at least a million dollars.
Sebok showed up for the first day of play dressed as Batman's sidekick,
Robin, in what was the beginning of a costume-filled Main Event run for the
pro. The costumes are his payment after losing a bet to Gavin Smith about
who would finish best in the events leading up to the WSOP Main Event.
On the second day Sebok showed up as a bear cub in a diaper and the third
had him in a Spiderman costume. So far there's been no word on what he's
dressed as for the fourth day, or what his future costumes will be.
Smith did say that Sebok would be let off the hook if he makes it to the
final table of the Championship!
