It's Friday night and I've been doing too much "celebrating" to string together a full article. So instead, here are some random pieces of news / links / notes from the world of poker.
Glass Swallowing Prop Bet Between David Blaine and Phil Ivey? The New York Daily News is reporting that Phil Ivey was having dinner with David Blaine at Tao in New York when an interesting prop bet was made. Apparently Blaine was running through some different tricks, dazzling the patrons of the restaurant, when Ivey offered Blaine $10,000 to eat a "glass from the table."
Blaine then proceeded to smash a sake glass and eat it piece by piece.
