fighter 4 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 "And while the idea of running out of chips is frightening enough for most gamblers, something far more daunting awaited the losers of this game — an abseil trip down to rocks 90m below." http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=302614I tried to find a video of it to give you guys an idea of the cliff but this is the best i could get.

rog 0 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 What's scariest about this is that the whole match played out in 40 minutes. Holy bad structures batman!In all seriousness, this is about the stupidest thing I have ever seen. If poker hadn't jumped the shark prior to this, then this has to be it.

vbnautilus 48 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Isn't that Phil Laak?Yes, I think Phil is in the skydiving one. If you watch the video they also have THE Robert Varkonyi playing in the arctic circle, and KFL is in one of the events. Link to post Share on other sites

Do we have them fall into the river? Or maybe make them eat an intestine from an endangered animal? Or maybe cut off their finger?EPG: No they just leave.SE: Leave? Then what's the point of the river?EPG: I don't think you heard me, they are playing poker OVER a RIVER!!!!SE: Uh......You're dad is my boss right?EPG: Yep.SE: Then it's a great idea.

vbnautilus 48 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Well in the airplane one they do have to jump out of the plane if they bust out. In the arctic one they couldrebuy if they removed a piece of clothing. I don't know what the twist was with the cliff thing (bungie off the side?) butthere shoulda been one...
