Title: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: smracer on July 08, 2014, 11:34:10 PM One of my friends is playing in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. He has made it through day 1 and has about 23K in chips at this point.
I told him about Bitcoin about a year ago and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. You can follow him on twitter - https://twitter.com/bitcoinbeamer He did a few interviews about Bitcoin and he is the only one at the WSOP wearing a Bitcoin T-Shirt so he should get some good air time if he can stay in the field. His best finish is around 150th. https://i.imgur.com/7XcHtXG.jpg Here is the back of the shirt he is wearing at the main event! https://i.imgur.com/7wwOf48.jpg Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: Anastasio on July 09, 2014, 12:07:51 AM Thats awesome, lets hope he makes it far.
Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: darkx3 on July 09, 2014, 12:12:09 AM Awesome indeed. You should tell him to grab a hat from one of the bitcoin poker rooms. I'm sure Micon from Seals would be happy to hook him up.
Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: FastBluff on July 09, 2014, 12:26:48 AM Good Luck! Hope he makes to the final table!
Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: theskillzdatklls on July 09, 2014, 03:45:19 AM He should tell them that he will refuse first place prize money unless they pay him in bitcoin.
Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: NLNico on July 09, 2014, 03:52:51 AM Nice. Bryan Micon, "chairman of bitcoin poker site SealsWithClubs", is definitely also promoting Bitcoin at WSOP. But obviously Micon is wearing Seals merchandise and not Bitcoin merchandise like that. That's pretty cool! Good luck to him.

Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: notserp on July 09, 2014, 08:22:19 AM nice gl to him
Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: Micon on July 09, 2014, 08:34:30 AM 1) Totally saw this guy in the halls of the WSOP. Almost grabbed him and started talking but we are playing for $10M USD and currently that can buy a lot of bitcoin so I was focused.
2) #DoWant to talk to this guy and will totally stop him if I see him in the halls of the Rio next time 3) I bagged 53k / restart day 2c in ~10 hours. Would be fun to play at same table / wonder if he knows about SwC :) Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: Gridseed on July 09, 2014, 09:46:05 AM Good luck to final table!

Judging from the car he is driving he won't need too much luck. :3 Title: Re: Bitcoin at WSOP 2014 Post by: rockhoward on July 09, 2014, 11:30:47 AM Looks like Mason Hinkle to me. Younger brother of Grant and Blair.
