Re: who was the big black guy at WSOP cash games?
After the Super Bowl, Teddy kept telling everyone how he was there for it and made a hundred grand selling tickets. I assumed he meant scalping, and I also assumed he didn't include the cost of the tickets in that figure.
During NBA all-star weekend, Teddy would sit in the poker games with some sort of security clearance type card around his neck. As it turns out, Teddy has quite the racket at big sporting events. He wears this counterfeit access pass around his neck, and stands outside the events. He charges people money to get into the event. So if they pay him, he'll just escort them into the arena/stadium with his fake pass or whatever it is.
As mentioned, Teddy is the king of ridiculous claims about poker winnings. Back when he was still playing 30/60, he claimed he pulled 300k per year out of the games.
