A crazy swimming prop bet for Papi

We round-up some stories you may have missed including Doug Polk trolling PokerStars and an increased guarantee in the WSOPE.

What could go wrong?

The poker tradition for crazy prop bets often veers off in some dangerous directions, including MMA bets, weight loss bets and shark tank diving.

Popular YouTuber Joe Ingram is the latest to do something questionable for money, as he has a bet with Bill Perkins he can swim a mile.

Not exactly groundbreaking, until you discover he can't swim:

I booked a swimming prop bet w/ @bp22

My 5k to win 15k

Must swim 1 mile by end of Sept down in St. Thomas

I've never swam in my life ;(

An important announcement

We didn't fall for it, but some did, in this next level trolling from Doug Polk. Of course, we did the Polk trolling before it was popular.

€1 milly WSOPE

If you still have WSOP fever then you have even more reason to set your eyes on the World Series of Poker Europe debut in Rozvadov in October. 

King's Casino have upped the guarantee on the €10,350 Main Event to €5 million, meaning the eventual champion will walk away with at least €1 million. 

Early registrations have encouraged the venue's own Leon Tsoukernik to increase the guarantee. He has also confirmed that an impressive 90 players have preregistered for the €111,111 One Drop High Roller. You can see the full schedule here.
