 We have just received word on an outlandish World Series of Poker wager between two rising stars of the circuit. According to this report first year professional "Jumpin'" Joe Sebok has issued a challenge to one of the brashest young players on the tour, Gavin "sGAVINger" Smith. Smith has accepted and apparently the two seem destined to collide on the floors of the Rio Las Vegas Resort & Casino come this summer and we will be there to bring it to you every step of the way. Details are sketchy, but it seems that there will be a cumulative WSOP '06 points clash in all hold'em events. The two players will tally their total points in limit, pot-limit, and no-limit hold'em events beginning 6/27, and concluding 7/25, and the winner will be crowned champion, or more importantly, "just not the loser". In this case being "just not the loser" is far greater than being an actual champion, for the real victory is in the fate that awaits the fallen player. Whichever player, be it Sebok or Smith, who finds himself on the short end of the flop will be forced to undergo a public humiliation like no other in poker history. Truthfully, perhaps like no other in human history. How much cash you ask? For two competitors as fierce as these no simple dollar sum would suffice. No, no. In fact, the payment will be worth far more than just an amount of money. For each day that the losing player is alive in the WSOP Main Event (minus 10/8-10/10, if losing player is still alive) in '06 they must dress up as a different SuperHero and play the tournament that way for the day. That's right, a new SuperHero everyday of the event. The rules will be as follows for the competition: 1. All hold'em events from event #2 through event #37 at the WSOP '06 will be used in the final tally. The ESPN World Series Player of the Year points will be the scoring system employed. 2. If either Smith or Sebok is unable to play in any event, due to being at a final table of another event, the points will still be live for that hold'em event missed. In other words, ALL hold'em events will be used, regardless of a lack of participation of one player in any one event. 3. For the first day of Main Event '06, the losing player will be forced to dress up as anything that the winning player comes up with. You read that correctly. Anything. 4. For all subsequent days of Main Event '06 that losing player is still alive with chips, they must dress up as different SuperHeroes picked out of a pre-approved hat by both parties. Said SuperHero will be revealed each night before on both player's separate blogs. Costumes for loser will not be enforced for last three days of Main Event '06, (10/8-10/10) for possible marketing opportunities. 5. Losing player must continue each day as a new SuperHero until they are knocked out of Main Event '06, or until play begins on 10/8, Day 11 of Main Event '06. These are all the facts we have for now. As soon as we have more news, we will be sure to forward it along...  Bluff Magazine & Bluff Radio ...for providing all costumes and professional costume artist
