Antonio Esfandiari disqualified from PCA Main Event with 100K+ stack.
This is just ridiculous! 🙂 Honestly if you can't win a bet because you're not strong enough to walk to a bathroom and have to pee in a bottle in public then you lost the bet and just pay up, walk to the bathroom and pee like a normal human being! 🙂

Poor guy! I'm sure it wasn't the prop bet but just that he couldn't have moved. At least he had a bottle, some hygiene. But I'm disappointed, someone as clever as Antonio did not see this coming? He should've known it would be urgent in a while and how he couldve manage to lunge out....
Quit Yoga Antonio and start lifting weights!!! Then you can put up all the prop bets you want

Foolishness deserves the reward it gets
Come on people, to think that what Antonio did is OK puts you in a very juvenile category .. along with the teenagers who giggle at profanity or lewd comments .. grow up ... are you adults or juveniles

Esfandiari and poker-playing businessman Bill Perkins had a prop bet that called for Esfandiari to lunge everywhere he went for 48 hours. The bet began on Jan. 8.
It’s unclear how much it was for, but the three-time wsop bracelet winner called the prop bet “massive.”
“Been lunging around my hotel room all day,” Esfandiari later Tweeted. “Just going to the bathroom and back is starting take a toll on my legs. I am in trouble [tomorrow]!”
After awhile of avoiding all methods of getting around besides lunging, Esfandiari apparently found himself with the need to use the restroom during play on Monday and didn’t want to lunge all the way there to the use the toilet. He decided to urinate in a container underneath the table, according to various Tweets and media reports. Esfandiari himself hasn’t explicitly said what he did, but he did confirm what had transpired when replying to a flood of comments on social media.
“Following a violation of our tournament rules for players participating in the PCA, Antonio Esfandiari was disqualified from the main event,” PokerStars spokesman Eric Hollreiser said in a statement. “We do not expect to provide any further details on this issue.”
Esfandiari has apologized for the incident, calling his actions “unacceptable” and saying that he was “not happy with myself today.” He did say he won the prop bet.

prollly the prop bet was wroth more then that tourney lol, since they saud the bet was HUGE haha,,,, and he did win the bet,,,,, thats a really cuckooo bet tho,, and antonio is not a big guy,,, and i think has preety thin legs, idk 🙂 lol funny story tho
Wow, few different ways of looking at this!!! Literally 🙂. Imagine sitting at a poker table and someone was doing that, would you be happy?? But, then IF it did get 50K for charity then PEE ON, well worth it. Anyone know who jumped in the shark tank?
The prop bet was for $50k which he donated to a charity. Urinating at the table is a really strange thing to do imo. I could see how it might hurt really bad lunging everywhere you go and to have to lunge some more especially after sitting down for a while but if i was in his shoes i dont know if it would be worth the publicity to accept the bet and then not use the restroom like everyone else does.
