I like this clip about the Phil Laak record more - youtu.be/5zqquuUgRg0?is=xrLY…
In 2010, Phil Laak played poker for 115 hours straight and broke the world record.
On June 2, he sat down at a $10/$20 no-limit game at the Bellagio, and he didn’t plan on getting up anytime soon.
To break the record, he had to pass 72 hours. He was allowed one 5-minute break an hour. He had no caffeine, just a spoonful of amino acids now and then. Every dollar he raised went to Camp Sunshine, a camp for kids with life-threatening illnesses.
Hours 37 and 67 nearly broke him. At hour 72, he started to feel better. It helped that his partner, Jennifer Tilly, was by his side, even taking shifts on the crew that documented everything for Guinness.
Around hour 77, he was down $17K. Then he got it all in with pocket aces against Antonio Esfandiari’s queens. They ran it four times, the aces held every time, and the Bellagio poker room went wild.
Then he just kept playing. He finally stopped at 115 hours, 43 hours past the old record, and walked away $6,766 up.
16 years later, Guinness still lists him as the record holder.

Limon won’t wear shorts on a golf course. He respects the game.
But he’d sit as the house with $10K in a game where a royal could pay $50K.
Hit it? He’d hand you the $10K and head home. Table stakes.
By his math, he just won $40K.
The man has a strict code. It’s mostly a dress code.
We got his full story. From hustling baseball cards to owning a piece of Live at the Bike to retiring with the money.

💰 $1.7 million.
That's how much PokerStars on FanDuel has given away in tournament overlays across its two major series.
With one of the biggest iGaming companies in the US, @FanDuel, backing it, PokerStars appears willing to absorb the losses.

💸 ACR STILL CHEATING SPORTSBETTORS AFTER PROMISING LAST MONTH TO STOP 💸
Cashouts slowing down for poker players, too. Are they going broke?
Remember 4 weeks ago, when it was exposed that ACR wasn’t letting its sportsbook players withdraw without meeting a HIDDEN TERM of raking 10% in poker?
Recall that these sportsbettors did NOT receive any kind of bonus they had to clear. They simply were not allowed to have their money until they raked THOUSANDS in poker — a game many of them didn’t even play.
This was a huge controversy, and CEO Phil Nagy PROMISED to either prominently disclose this requirement in a location all sportsbettors would see prior to depositing, or remove it altogether.
None of this has happened. ACR is still CHEATING its sportsbettors in the exact same way, with this extremely hidden and nonstandard withdrawal term.
Phil made the loudest players in September whole, then went right back to ripping everyone off.
This is unacceptable, and again it raises questions about ACR’a liquidity, especially since cashouts for everyone are slower than ever before.
ACR will not respond to anyone questioning this, so it’s time to make this go viral again.
All we ask is that you treat your customers FAIRLY and ETHICALLY, and stop finding bogus reasons to KEEP money rightfully belonging to your players!

Hey man remember when your Dad was in all of those widely popular teenage gooner movies where they filmed a supposed high school girl having sex without her consent and put it on the internet? Talk about creating a bad environment for women!
Or wait…was that…just a JOKE 🤯🤯🤯
“Schitt’s Creek” star Dan Levy is calling out Shane Gillis' #SNL monologue.
"I’m speechless that something like that can exist on live national television. And to be perfectly honest, more men need to be standing up in opposition to it because it’s complacency that has created the environment in which women are sexually assaulted and it’s a ‘conversation’ as opposed to a ‘crime.'" variety.com/2026/tv/news/dan…

Will money laundering rules push high stakes poker games with unverified players to private homes in Vegas? Yes.
Is that exactly what the casino wants? Probably.

One of the most gutting stories in poker history 💔 On EP71, the late great Mike Sexton relived the night it all came crashing down. PartyPoker had just dropped $20M+ sponsoring the WSOP, qualified 2,000 players for the Main Event — then UIGEA passed and wiped the U.S. market out within 24 hours. The Ambassador of Poker, gone but never forgotten. Full ep on YT 👆 #TheFlowShow #JeffGross #Poker #EP71 #PokerLife #PokerStrategy #PokerPro #PokerHistory #WSOP #RIPMikeSexton

🚨 WARNING: POSSIBLE MAJOR LIQUIDITY PROBLEM AT ACR 🚨
It has come to my attention that ACR is throwing up HUGE ROADBLOCKS against anyone trying to withdraw from their ACR sportsbook.
They are forcing ACR Sportsbook bettors to rake INSANE AMOUNTS from the poker side (even if these people don't play poker) in order to get their winnings.
Even worse, the amount of rake these sportsbettors need to reach keeps changing on the fly, and seems nonsensical. It seems ACR simply doesn't want to give these people their money.
This is NOT related to any bonuses. This is happening to ordinary players who deposit to the sportsbook, win fair and square, and aren't allowed to have their money.
Also, earlier this year, ACR was engaging in very slow payments of withdrawals, and blamed it on the World Cup -- a story I never believed.
Multiple players are coming out of the woodwork to complain about this. Thus far there is COMPLETE SILENCE from Phil Nagy and all of the ACR pros!
I strongly recommend that you DO NOT DEPOSIT ANOTHER PENNY to ACR until we can get some clear answers here.
Please note that I am completely independent, and do not represent any poker site, casino, or sportsbook. I am just getting very concerned that ACR is near broke.
If they're not, they need to be transparent and fair with their customers.
Please RT for awareness.
