Andy Bloch is freerolling for $25,000. All he has to do is eat 24 cupcakes in the next hour and a half without throwing up during or ten minutes after completion.
Erik Seidel and Howard Lederer teamed up on the bet and are splitting it fifty-fifty.
The prop bet started because Bloch was given two boxes of massive cupcakes for his 41st birthday today. The bet has quickly caught the attention of nearly everyone in the room. Phil Hellmuth quickly ran over to twitpic Bloch scarfing down his first cupcake and players at adjacent tables are all giving their two cents.
"I can't wait until he gets twelve deep and gives up," said one player.
"I could to that easy!" blurted Scott Seiver.
We'll keep you updated on Bloch's status and hopefully we wont need a vomit bag.
