$25,400 High Roller Event (Re-Entry)
Level 11: 2,000/4,000/500 Ante
All of a sudden George Lucas would fit right into tonight’s High Roller.
Jason Les and Dong Kim made a $20 side bet on the title of the original Star Wars movie. Kim was correct that the “A New Hope” moniker was not added until well after its original release. So at least if Kim doesn’t cash he’ll as least get back a portion of his buy-in.
On the table next to them, one player is channeling one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars lexicon. James Joyner has called up the diminutive Yoda to protect his chips from the rest of the Empire and even has the matching hoodie to boot.
We’ll see how well these guys can channel the Force as we head into Level 12.
