Phil Laak to attempt poker endurance record

[17Fabrizio17]

Bathroom rules

I think I saw him wearing funny t-shirts before that read: "You can rebuild it", or "Stay awake".
But the most important aspect of this session is obviously the bathroom rules.
He has 5 minutes every hour to do as he please but if he doesn't take a break for, let's say 3 hours in a row, he will collect 15 minutes that he can use all in one go.

Was just odd to see you pop up in there.

Vger the mod in there is a old friend of mine so I knew Id get a answer quick. All the donks in that chat put me on life tilt so I dont watch it.. Just the table

 

[TPC]

Thought I would bump the thread and post the link for people that haven't seen it yet. Les than four hours to go!!!

He is looking reeeally tired rite now, and it seems he has stopped blogging. Would be a shame if he fell on the rope.

Is he playing 10/20 at Bellagio?

yes

 

[Marginal]

yes

Really, I can totally see that meme coming back to life after this.

He'll make it. He got to take breaks and take showers and stuff. When I first heard about it thought he would have to just play poker non stop. Still difficult to stay up that long I guess.

 

[LombardiStix]

take showers? weak... I dont feel like this is as legit now, TBH. Soft. I'm not sayin its not hard, but its not nearly as hard as it would be to literally sit at a table for that long without missing blinds etc.

 

[TPC]

Antonio is trying to talk him into doing 96 hours now. LOL.

 

[TPC]

Via Phil's twitter page, he is now shooting for 90 hours!!

 

[OzExorcist]

Apparently ESPN camera crews are there filming this, among others, so we'll no doubt be seeing bits of it during this year's wsop coverage.

 

[Neoblast]

So how many hours left, did he make it?
That's a nice world record to achieve if he does...

He made it, going on overtime now. Looks like he is taking some prop bets.
(if someone shows him a nude pic of Jennifer Tilly I think he will go to bed.)

The moderators were saying in the chat log that at 78 hours (or thereabouts) he'd beat the official world record but not the unofficial one, and in either case he wants to try for at least 90 hours.

If you're watching the camera, anybody know who the guy is wearing the red shirt next to Phil? Dude is taking a beating in the chat room.

 

[drgilbert4]

They keep calling him "Red Shirt". I guess that's a good name for him. I've seen him reach in Phil's stack a couple of times to help him post his blinds. Those guys in the chat don't like him very much, do they?

 

[Shadowplay]

They're getting pretty creative with their comments now about the guy now. Not even talking about Phil much.

 

[brianvoytek]

Showers?? Breaks? Honestly this is a joke. Sit there and play, use the restroom when needed, but that should be it. With those rules, whatever he sets for a record, someone will break it within a month.

I thought he was just sitting there.

 

[OzExorcist]

Now at 88 hours and into "overtime". He's definitely done it.

 

[jdeliverer]

this has been and still is one of the most wonderful journeys i've ever taken. It's touchingly human and a beautiful on so many levels

My best guess is that my body has adjusted internally somehow and in letting my mind wander a lot it has alleviated nd for proper dreams

He's at over 101 hours and still going... he also appears to be a little crazy

No, he's at 97, heading for 101. Apparently Antonio cleaned up on a bunch of prop bets on 96, next one is for 101.

I predict he will hit 110.

 

[FREEROLLSFTW]

100 straight hours of live poker, woooow howd he stay awakee??

 

[woody19]

after all this he is gunna sleep for days lmao

 

[Monoxide]

As much as some people say he wont be physically/mentally harmed in the long run from this.... I really dont think the body is ment to run non-stop and some seriously adverse effects might happen if he doesnt stop at 100 or 110.
