Me, CMO, Kirby, Mike C.


This all also started because the guy asked CMO if he knew who he was. CMO did, but responded, "Cernuto, right?" (Miami John looks similar but is much older in appearance and age, so it was meant to be an insult). Over the course of the night 4 different times Esposito could not understand that CMO did know who he was or how CMO's response was a joke.

Some quotes:
"John, I bet any of us could win a stud 8 or better event in a field of 25" [while we're trying to get him to tell us what his bracelet was in... stud 8 said because he was talking about 300/600 going at bellagio, which he allegedly claimed to be seated in (don't think he was)]
"I won the 1999 LHE event, before the boom"
"Oh, so you mean before players were any good at hold em?"


John and us all walk towards the cashier's window, with him talking about wanting to get the 100k secured last night, and a $10,000 penalty if either side doesn't show up.
"Can I ask why you kids would want to go through with this?"
"We like to gamble."
"Oh, that makes sense, if I were as young as you guys I would too. But, I wouldn't go against the best."


Soon after, him having a heart-to-heart with Kirby, him again wondering how we could possibly want to play him:
"Because, John... I think... he [CMO] is... a lot better than you."
"Oh, ok, I thank you for your honesty, I can accept that."
"Yeah John, look at it as a challenge."
"A challenge... this is what I live for."


He "went to his box" to get his 100,000, and then was never seen again until he was seen by Mike C (worm33) in the valet.

Anyway, it would've probably been CMO or me playing the match, and if Esposito is seen by any of us before the series is over he'll be receiving much flack and pressure to play a freeze out, as he was running his mouth a LOT until he realized we were actually willing to play him in a freeze out and weren't just joking around.

if anyone sees him in the next few days, ask him about it! somethin like "hey cernuto, i heard you were gonna play a $100k freezeout? what happened?" would be great.

How would something like this work logistically?

Does Bellagio have a standard charge for hosting a private grudge match? Hourly rate? Percentage?
