Warrior Woes
Dan O'Brien is looking to crawl his way out of a little bit of a hole here at the Hollywood Poker Open Season 4 Championship Event today.
O'Brien was all over Twitter before the NBA Championship offering 2-1 on anyone willing to bet the Golden State Warriors wouldn't beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Of course, the Cavs made the biggest comeback in NBA finals history to take the title, winning Game 7 at Golden State after being down 3-1 earlier in the series, and O'Brien took a bit of a bath.
He told PokerNews it was the most he'd lost in a single day betting sports, but since he's really not that heavy a sports better, it didn't hurt too bad.
O'Brien also said he talked about it for a segment on his new Podcast dubbed Fighting Chance. It's an NPR-style pod following he and Cate Hall on their respective journeys through the summer in Vegas as professional poker players, and it was just picked up by iTunes today.
You'll have to listen to find out if talk of O'Brien's Warrior-bet losses are featured on the show, but its a good bet a deep run here in the Hollywood would make the cut.
