Some Friends!
If you spend $3,000 to enter a poker tournament at the World Series of Poker, and your friends come to watch from the rail, you'd hope they'd be supportive. Not so for James Vannenan. Vannenan's friends were intested in heading off to play a round of golf and wanted their poker-playing buddy to join them. They offered the other players at Vannenan's table a bounty of $50 to bust him. When that failed to produce any action over a period of a few hands, they upped the bounty to $100. Vannenan still failed to bust and, disappointed, they wandered off without him.
