The WSOPE adds a Short Deck event
We recap some stories you may have missed including a taser prop bet and NSFW Jungleman (yes really).
Short Deck bracelet at WSOPE
The high stakes poker world's love of Short Deck knows no bounds as an 11th bracelet event has been added to the WSOPE schedule in the format.
A €25,500 event with a €2,500,000 guarantee will take place between October 18-19 in what will be the second bracelet event in the new format (the other taking place in Vegas this summer).
This comes a week after it was revealed PokerStars will be hosting 6+ Hold'em (their version of Short Deck) tournaments on the site.
Hellmuth vs Antonio in a taser match?
He may be on a high after beating Kevin Hart in the ring, now Antonio Esfandiari wants to bring some pain to Phil Hellmuth.
The two are in talks to have a heads-up match where the winner gets to shoot the loser with a taser. Esfandiari may have to get in line, however, as Hellmuth is poised to have a heads-up match with Rob Yong for $500,000 first.
Let’s make this happen in 2019: @MagicAntonio vs PH, loser gets shot w a taser gun! NBC Heads Up format works for me, or maybe we make the levels 10 mins or 20 mins longer? #POSITIVITY #HellmuthVsMagician https://t.co/b1T8cpSG2u

If you want a very accurate depiction of what that may look like, here is 'Hellmuth-a-like' Brandon Cantu getting tasered while Esfandiari watches almost ten years ago:
Linus on his LLinusLove Life
In the interview he says he prefers not having to travel so he can crush online poker and this is perhaps one of the reasons why, Linus 'LLinusLove' Loeliger does not quite know how to react in this interview during the Triton series:
NSFW Jungleman
Finally, we normally avoid posting anything that looks like Dan Bilzerian posing with scantily clad ladies because if you are looking for that kind of stuff, you know what the internet is capable of.
However, it was a bit of a surprise to see Daniel Cates of all people in a Bilzerian-esque video that was incredibly NSFW (you have been warned). So if that's your kind of thing click on the picture below, but know that the puppy is very disappointed in you:
