Truth or Consequences

Shamus

Beth Shak and Joe Sebok are both in this event, seated at tables diagonal from one another. Both doubled up early on today, with Sebok still sitting with about 21,000 and Shak 44,500.

Apparently the two have a prop bet -- unrelated to the event, but to Sebok's alleged lack of awareness regarding Shak's current marital status (she is getting divorced). Shak doesn't believe Sebok's claim that he didn't know about her situation, and so apparently the plan is to have Sebok answer questions regarding the matter while wearing a lie detector.

The bet is for $5,000, plus the loser will have to wear whatever humiliating outfit the winner suggests for the first day of the Main Event. Sounds like Sebok (should he fail the test) might be wearing a bikini top and high heels, while Shak (should Sebok pass) might be showing up in a bunny costume.

"She's drawing dead," says Sebok, insisting that he's telling the truth. "But don't tell her that, 'cos she'll back out of the bet!"

We promise. (Hey, we're not wearing a lie detector.)
