In a post a few weeks ago, we covered the random but amusing bet that was made between Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan during a game on the popular poker program “High Stakes Poker”. Dwan bet Ivey one million US dollars that he couldn’t be a vegetarian for a year and Ivey obliged saying that he was looking to go vegetarian anyway and this would be an added incentive. Well, it seems the ‘chicken may have come home to roost’ for Dwan, as Ivey recently realised that there was no way he could go for a year without eating chicken.
Poker Magazine Ace reported that Ivey realised he couldn’t go without chicken for a whole year when he was entertaining friends recently. He picked up a piece of chicken and wanted to eat it so badly that he immediately called Dwan and said he wanted to buy the bet out. Dwan was cool with it and they settled the bet for $150,000.
Is it just me or is $1 million dollars a lot of money as well as a huge incentive? I’d go fruitarian for a year if it meant I got $1 million dollars at the end of it. Come on Phil!
