    Too bad he's reduced to this to get attention since his popularity has fallen off the past couple of years... love watching him nit it up on high stakes poker playing scared money and admitting how outclassed he is all the time

    i believe he is trying to set the record for longest live poker session, i think hes playing 10-20(not positive though), and finally, im not sure if there ever was a standing record for him to break in the first place. complete waste of time and energy. like someone else said, its his only way to remain relevant these days.

    I'm rooting for him to get it.

    (The only records I have are unofficial. I truly believe I had the most stolen bases in Little League. In 18 games, I went 0-2 with two strikeouts. All my other at bats during a game (lets say an average of 4), I walked. and stole second and third like 99% of the time. I was only caught stealin' twice (once at 2nd, and once at 3rd). Calculate it, Ganchrow! My other unofficial record is graduating from a liberal arts institution for my undergrad while writing the fewest number of pages. Including my senior thesis (required), I wrote less than 100 pages in four years. To put it in perspective, a history major may write 100 pages for one class. His junior and senior thesis combined could easily be 150 pages.)

    As long as poker sites are giving out million dollar yearly contracts, player will be trying to get attention.

    according to the last cardplayer interview he is stuck 4100 at the 49th hour. Him and another player both have 100k on the table.

    isnt he missing a couple of nice tournys in the wsop that he could be playing? and as for the sites giving out yearly million dollar contracts, im sure theyd rather give those contracts out to bracelet or even multiple bracelet winners, rather than some sideshow.

    Phil Laak has good concerns for his fellow poker players and is always part of the solution.

    He is more amusing to watch than many others are, so best of luck to him.

    Absolutely crazy. I've stayed awake for 80 hours before and was capable of almost nothing at the end. Even after sleeping for 8 hours after it was over I was still shot for the better part of a day.
