Brandon Cantu to be tasered by Clonie Gowen

Brandon Cantu to be tasered by Clonie Gowen

Tuesday, 24 November 2009

The TASER charity poker tournament for injured police officers, reported by Bluff Europe earlier in the year, was the site of a fairly ridiculous prop bet according to Phil Hellmuth’s blog.

Hellmuth described how his fellow UB pro Brandon Cantu was knocked out of the charity rebuy tournament and was preparing to leave when Clonie Gowen stepped up to the mic and said:


"I will rebuy you Brandon, but then we have to have a last longer bet where the loser gets tased by the winner!" Cantu reluctantly agreed to the bet.”


The prop went down to the wire, with Cantu holding the chip lead at the last two tables after holding AA in a three-way all-in. Fortunately for former Full Tilt pro Gowen, he doubled her up before being eliminated.


Hellmuth said: “Finally, Cantu went broke on the bubble, and Clonie will tase him at the Bellagio, and we will invite poker players to watch it, and play the video on youtube.com, cardplayer.com, and bluff.com!”
