Here\’s a story I heard the other night … like much of what we report here, I have no idea whether or not it\’s true. My source on this is generally reliable, and he heard it once-removed from some \”online pro\” who was in a bathroom stall at the Rio to overhear the following …
(And even if it\’s totally made up, I\’m sure there\’s a funny joke in here somewhere … and Sam and Eskimo can consider it a public service graciously provided by Pokerati to let them know what kinda trash people may or may not be saying.)
So supposedly, just a few days ago, Sam Grizzle and Eskimo Clark were in the indoor bathroom outside the Amazon Room taking a leak during a break. Eskimo apparently asked Sam how he was doing, and vice versa … both grunted.
Then Eskimo asked, \”You wanna trade 10 percent in this event?\” (I believe it was a $1,500 NL) and Sam apparently agreed, saying, \”Sure, why not?\”
Sam then washed his hands and left, at which point another player said to Eskimo, \”Hey Paul, did you just swap with Sam on the $1,500? He just busted out 10 minutes ago!\”
At which point Eskimo responded, \”That\’s OK. I never even registered.\”
