PAD - May 20th Prop Bet
 

I saw the tail end of this prop bet....its one of the strangest Ive seen happen.

This might take me a while to explain. Probably easier if someone watched it on NBC or pokertube.

Cliffnotes - Phil Gordon bets Howard Lederer that he met Howard's mom the night previously. Phil has met Howards mom before that night.

Anyone see this?

Yea i watched it this morning.

thought it was kinda funny

wonder who it actually was...

would be funny if howard and his mom hustled phil, but i doubt it.

I actually caught the end of this live last night. My DVR was on the channel, so I rewound and watched the whole thing develop. It was hilarious. I can't WAIT until the next time I see Phil Gordon. I am so saying, "Back the truck up" and asking if he ever figured out what went down. I think that was the most entertained I've ever been watching poker on tv.

Long story short:


Phils says to Howard, "I ran into your mom at the Venetian yesterday."

Howard: ":confused: No. :confused:"

Back and forth, forever, finally a $1k prop bet. Phil has Howard's mom (who lives in Vegas) AND step mom (who does not). Howard is just betting on no, neither of them saw him in any casino the day before.

Robert Williamson III gets in on it, betting with Phil for $1000.

They call Howard's mom (the one Phil says he is sure it was when he heard her name), she's in San Diego and wasn't even in Vegas this weekend...

Phil looks truly distrubed, thinking he's losing his mind.

RWIII says he got middled and the other two are gonna split his $1000.

It was gold.

The guy doing the commentary (if you can even call it that) this week is laughably horrible.
