<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Update:<\/strong> the bidding is up to $50,000 and Tony G says “don’t touch my bling<\/a>“.<\/p>\n I have decided that I am going to buy Peter Eastgate\u2019s WSOP Main Event winner\u2019s bracelet. It is currently trading at $16,500 on e-bay and I am going to lead the bidding at $17,500 \u2013 I don\u2019t expect any further bids and as I know there are very few people with the heart and courage to challenge a determined Tony G.<\/p>\n What am I going to do with Peter\u2019s bracelet? Well, the plan is to get it adapted into a special collar for my trusted German Shepherd Zasko. The ultimate dog bling \u2013 as my gladiator and protector he deserves to be kitted out in such style.<\/p>\n You may not think I am serious, but I am deadly serious \u2013 my dog is going to be wearing the Great Dane Eastgate\u2019s bracelet \u2013 mark my words.<\/p>\n When I enter the Aussie Millions Main Event<\/a> this year with Zasko he is going to be suitably dressed for the occasion!<\/p>\n On a day when the world is talking about Prince William giving an engagement ring to Kate Middleton it is only right that my dog of impeccable bloodline gets the ultimate status symbol from the world of poker<\/a>.<\/p>\n I have a few ideas about how to modify the bracelet into a dog collar. I may well call upon Robert Williamson III\u2019s wife Cate (not from the House of Windsor) who is a top jewellery designer to help me and am exploring other options. Zasko has a neck like Mike Tyson so it is going to take some work.<\/p>\n People will accuse me of trying to make a mockery of Peter\u2019s WSOP Main Event win but that is not the intention \u2013 I really want to do this. I respect Peter\u2019s decision to turn around and say that\u2019s it \u2013 each to their own and hope that the money I give him for the bracelet goes to a good cause.<\/p>\n I got a bit concerned for him after his WSOP win \u2013 you get all this money and perhaps you get in games too big for you but every time I played with him I thought he was a good player and a nice lad. He\u2019s hardly Prince of Denmark material but I have a lot of time for him and his brother Kaspar and still do.<\/p>\n I saw the way people swarmed all over him offering the world and all the sponsorship circus (I\u2019ve been there, just ask Tiffany Michelle) and he seemed very level headed.<\/p>\n I have just seen the news about the new WPT Regional Series Events in the United States and WPT National Series Events in Europe. I have already emailed Bruno \u2018King\u2019 Fitoussi about the ACFpoker Paris event at the Aviation Club between the 9th \u2013 15th February. 5k buy-in \u2013 can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n Bruno said that under no circumstances can I bring Zasko in the Aviation Club as even he isn\u2019t allowed to bring his dog in there. What\u2019s wrong Bruno, do you not like the idea of a territorial German Shepherd in your poker room? Isn\u2019t Bruno the name of a possible playmate for Zasko? Scared that Zasko will prove he is the real \u2018King?\u2019<\/p>\n Some of you will know that I have a bit of history with the Aviation Club de France \u2013 it\u2019s a blessing they even let me in these days \u2013 but I want to bring my dog \u2013 after all he has a WSOP Main Event winner\u2019s bracelet from 2008. My boy can play\u2026and he doesn\u2019t bite\u2026much. Here to me Zasko<\/a>, here to me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Update: the bidding is up to $50,000 and Tony G says “don’t touch my bling“.
