The call is one that stirs the blood and gets the attention of anyone who has put up with a loud mouth, arrogant poker player at their table, the kind that claim they are better than everyone else. A website, www.kickjacksass.com, tells the story of one Jack R, a player in a weekly live game who thinks he is better than all online poker players. A fellow player by the name of Phan called him out, and the result is a tournament with a thousand dollar bounty on Jack R’s head.
The story has a few likely holes in it, but it hardly matters if it is true or not. A tournament is a tournament, and players get a shot at a grand by knocking out the man Jack. Bounties are nothing new in poker tournaments and add a bit of spice to the event, giving players a chance to cash even if they don’t make it inside the bubble. |
