Bloch Goes Cupcake Crazy at WSOP 2010
Created By: Rod Stirzaker Posted in: WSOP Blog, Tournament TrailWe expected some crazy prop bets at this year's WSOP, but Andy Bloch may have just bitten off more than he can chew - quite literally.
Howard Lederer gave him the opportunity to freeroll a bet for $25k - the only stipulation being Bloch had to devour 24 cupcakes in 90 minutes.
It sounds manageable but take some time to consider all that frosting and sugar and just how much volume these cupcakes take up.
Bloch jumped at the opportunity - hey, it's a freeroll - but despite wearing a t-shirt saying "HOPE" - he is decidedly downcast about his chances right now.
"I don't think I can manage it...I'm on six right now. I think I'm going to give up."
Resigned to defeat, when Lederer appeared to offer Bloch $5k for just 15, the cowboy-hat wearing math whiz rolled his eyes and looked like he was about to throw up.
Lederer meanwhile just laughed and walked away, presumably pretty confident his $5k was as safe as that 15th cupcake.
