The $100k Bathroom Prop Bet is On!
5 years ago03 Dec
We may have got the name wrong in last weekās breaking news of the staggering $100k prop bet that will see a pro poker player spending 30 days and night in complete darkness and isolation ā but the bet itself is happening as you read thisā¦
Itās not Huck Seed as our sources first said, although he did apparently offer to do a $1million version of the bathroom challenge, but rather Rich Alati who has taken up fellow Vegas pro Rory Youngās challenge ā and itās a brutal one to say the leastā¦
āThe conditions are complete darkness, so no electronics, no light-emitting devices, no drugs of any kind,ā Young told PokerNewsā Mo Nuwarrah.
With no way of knowing how much time has passed apart from the somewhat random food deliveries every 3 to 6 days, many think itās impossibleā¦
According to PocketFives.com, there are āfive night-vision cameras broadcasting around the clock and the only privacy Alati gets is when heās in the shower or the toilet cubicle. Alatiās family and a few select others have access to the feedā.
Although quite a few people have declared the bet dangerous, Alatiās sister included, Young explained:
āShe tried very hard to get him to pull out and he wasnāt having it. Sheās pretty worriedā. He added: āIām a firm believer in that there are two consenting adults and if it doesnāt do any harm to a third party, then itās morally justifiableā.
Will Alati win the bet, or will he beg to be let out early? With only a Rubikās Cube for company the clever money is on the latter ā and Daniel Negreanu agreesā¦
ā¦although fellow high-stakes pro Brian Rast thinks Alati could win the betā¦
And what of the Huck Seed angle? As Young explained:
āThe other night, I get a phone call from a random number and itās Huckleberry Seed. Long story short, he wants to do it for a million, but he wants much tougher conditions.ā
According to Young, the legendary Seed offered to:
āDo it with no bed, no food for the first 21 days, heād do it for a total of 40 days, and just water. Also, he said I could put some cockroaches in the bathroom!ā
