When a Jewish couple gets married the husband stomps on a glass cup. I believe its to briefly remind everyone of the sadness in the world despite the joyous occasion but I could be wrong on that.

You may need to do something different to get TV time. Yesterday, in the $2000 No-limit event, Humberto was at the table next to mine, hamming it up for the camera. I wrestled the laser shark out of his hands and threw it a few tables away, after telling him, "The shark has been annoying people," in a joking tone.

Someone threw it back to me, I dropped it to the floor and told Humberto I was going to stomp his shark (in the fashion of my ancestors). I stomped, Humberto winced a little, but he took it well, partly because it was done by me, I think.

He held up the other shark to show he was not sharkless. After the cameras were gone, I threw the laser shark back to him, letting him know that I really didn't crush his baby. (I'm not sure if the camera got to floor level to see that I stomped beside the shark.)

A few hands later, Humbero got all in with pocket Aces against Young Phan's pocket Kings. The cameras were not there to see Young spike a King and knock Humberto out. No one had the heart to do anything sharky in front of Humberto's stunned face.

I believe the line that goes along with it is: "may your love last as long as it takes to put this back together".

But I too, may be wrong...

& well done, Barry...

Ok really though Mason can you tell us more about this charity and what cause it benefits?

[/ QUOTE ]


No. I keep it private.

Best wishes,
Mason

Oh yeah, real reliable Mason. Let's donate money to a "foundation" that seemingly has no purpose known to us.

For the record, Barry G is my hero. You'd be promoted to legend if you actually did crush it.

I was told that the groom smashes the wine glass as a showing that he is strong enough to support his spouse and his future family.

I don't ask for any donations. I only mentioned it because of the fact that I'm uncomfortable with people coming on here and asking for money even if the cause is good. I'm not saying that it can't be done, just that it is something which is troubling to me. And to prove my point, I mentioned my own foundation which is something I do privately.

Best wishes,
Mason
