I like this clip about the Phil Laak record more - youtu.be/5zqquuUgRg0?is=xrLY…
In 2010, Phil Laak played poker for 115 hours straight and broke the world record.
On June 2, he sat down at a $10/$20 no-limit game at the Bellagio, and he didn’t plan on getting up anytime soon.
To break the record, he had to pass 72 hours. He was allowed one 5-minute break an hour. He had no caffeine, just a spoonful of amino acids now and then. Every dollar he raised went to Camp Sunshine, a camp for kids with life-threatening illnesses.
Hours 37 and 67 nearly broke him. At hour 72, he started to feel better. It helped that his partner, Jennifer Tilly, was by his side, even taking shifts on the crew that documented everything for Guinness.
Around hour 77, he was down $17K. Then he got it all in with pocket aces against Antonio Esfandiari’s queens. They ran it four times, the aces held every time, and the Bellagio poker room went wild.
Then he just kept playing. He finally stopped at 115 hours, 43 hours past the old record, and walked away $6,766 up.
16 years later, Guinness still lists him as the record holder.
Looking forward to playing @AsianPokerTour Event 0 - The Asia Gaming Industry Championship - next week in Taipei to start #APTC2026
Hoping to accomplish my main goal and acquire a 🇹🇼 @TheHendonMob flag in the process
