Dinner Break
Amaral's a Gambling Man
If that's not enough of a gamble, Amaral has offered Matt Hawrilenko a bet for $1,000 that it will be Hawrilenko and Amaral heads up. Amaral wants 20:1 on the bet and Hawrilenko has been thinking about it. Amaral even said he's post with Hawrilenko and tossed ten $100 bills on the table saying, "I want you to know what it feels like to hold onto my $1,000." Hawrilenko has yet to accept the bet.
