The poker world seemed a bit quieter after the end of the WSOP November 9. Unless, of course, your count the sides piling up in the Ryan Riess debate. And by debate I mean “He Is and Egotistical Punk” vs. “He’s Just a Young Excited Kid.” But, that said, there was still a lot of fun out there on the old interwebs, and here are some highlights.
Dan Bilzerian is a very macho man. And, thanks to Tosh.0, a little bit more of the world knows the power the super-beard wields over the ladies…and prop betting people in Panda suits:

A lot of poker players think they have all the money in the world. Or that they have reach an “epic level of baller” – this puts it in perspective as one of poker’s richest men marvels at the opulence.

That awkward moment when you realize one of poker’s smartest men is thinking about things WAYYYY deeper than you:
Anyone know where I can get a digital copy of Isaac de Pinto's 1768 letter to Diderot, Du Jeu de Cartes (On Card-Playing)?

JC Tran may not have won the WSOP Main Event…but he sure hit the jackpot:

I was going to do a whole big piece here on “Douche or Not A Douche” based on reactions to @RyanRiess1’s comments after winning the WSOP Main Event, but that isn’t going to happen. Frankly, we have no idea what kind of a guy he is until we see how he handles the success. Now THAT should be fun.
So instead, let’s just look at how the top two finishers spent the week after their heads up match.
What do you do when you win $5.1 million dollars and finish second in the WSOP main event? If you’re Jay Farber you:
Wake up and realize how lucky you are –
Woke up today feeling like $5.1million. Doesn't feel too bad. Thanks so much to everyone for the support and well wishes. Truly appreciated.

What do you do if you win $8.3million and the World Championship of Poker? (Well, after you set off a s**t storm by declaring yourself the best in the world.)
