I have to admit up front that I stole this video from my co-worker Jeff, who works for a sister station here in the building. I was too busy reading Brewers cactus league reports to find out what was 'trending' (look at that new age vocab, I just leveled up in the networking world!) on the intarwebs yesterday. It's tough to be everywhere you know? But he's a facebook friend of mine, and everyone knows in the facebook world if you post something it's fair game for someone else to steal and claim as their own. It's on that 'terms and conditions' thing that nobody reads, Article V, subsection 1a. He knew the rules when he signed up.
Now while this footage is amazing I think the funniest part is watching the reaction of the players in a high stakes poker match. You know this Joh character has pocket queens and has been stringing Huber around the whole time while he waits for a flush. Now the river hits and he's about to cash in on his brilliant slow play and BAM! John Dillinger walks through the door holding everyone up! Talk about bad luck. And you know he's got something when he basically has to be shoved away from the table at the :18 second mark. Honestly I'd be worried if I was that robber, I've hung around serious poker players and when they have cards and are about to double up you do NOT want to mess with them. My buddy Paul is one such guy. One time during summer break from college we all got together for some hold 'em and Paul was in an almost identical situation when he discovered that me and my buddy Steve were secretly working as a tandem to try eliminate him and split the remaining winnings. He went ballistic, incredible Hulk type stuff. And we were playing with Pringles as chips (no pun intended...alright that's a lie, 150% intended). Bonus word: poker.
PS: Lamest subject line of all time. Truth be told I stared at that line for 6 full minutes and couldn't think of anything better. Fail.
