Chair jokes are always funny.
Unlike stool jokes, which are usually crappy.

Vinnie Vinh Eliminated from 2007 World Series of Poker
The Vinnie Vinh saga at the 2007 World Series of Poker is now over.

Vinh was eliminated on the second hand of play today on Day 2b after putting his short stack in the middle with 5♥ 9♦ only to be called by the big blind who held K♥ 8♠. Both players flopped a pair, Vinh turned two pair but his opponent made a better two pair and Vinh was sent to the rail.

Only a few minutes before play started Vinh said he no interest in winning.

“I can’t win,” said Vinh. “If I win this year, I die. So I’m not gonna win.”

When asked to elaborate what that meant Vinh was somewhat cryptic.

“These Vietnamese guys, they find me if I win,” said Vinh, before sitting down to his stack of 3,200. “So I’m not going to win this year. Next year though, I win.”

“This year I’m too crazy.”

After failing to show up for Day 1a Vinh’s stack was removed from play and his buy-in refunded. However just as Day 1d started Vinh was spotted at the cashier’s cage registering for play. He ran his stack up to over 35,000 before the dinner break but failed to return to play that night. His stack was blinded off to 3,200 chips.

Vinh’s elimination was no surprise to anybody. According to friends Vinh is apparently dealing with some personal issues, including a stint in rehab. His close friend Jimmy Tran was speaking with Jack Effel on Day 1a about having Vinh’s situation when he told Effel that Vinh was “in a hospital, you know for rehab”.

But what about the chair!! Now the blonde will leave it, it won't be able to get reapholstered, and will end up a glue sniffing addict, somewhere in the same cheap dives Vinny hangs out in. In seriousness though, for Christ sake, get to rehab Vinny, stay there, worry about the fact that you owe money to some very bad people later.

One of the few ways for his statement to make sense is if he sold over 100% of himself to a combination of people. 50% here, 75% there, etc. If he won 1 million he might have owed people 3 million, etc. Obviously pure speculation and if he would have done this he really shouldn't have mentioned it in public, but that's the only way I can make sense of it.

That may be part of it, but I think the main issue is that Vinny owes alot of money to some very bad people. They know he is broke now, so they will wait in hope he will pay later. But he is in serious debt to his backer, so even if he won, I don't really think he would win as much as anyone would think, but enought everyone would be sure he could pay them off and would use some serious pursuation if he didn't.

Who in their right mind would stake this guy?
