CONVersation: Brewster��s Millions Quick-Fire Edition
We grabbed a moment with a few players and had them give answer to a fake scenario.
"PokerStars have added �100,000 to the first place prize here at EPT Malta but there��s a catch: you have 24 hours to spend it from the moment you win. What��s your plan?"
Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen: I��m going to invite all my friends and have a monster party. I��ll get some really good music so I'll need to hire a band. I��m really hooked on a Canadian band called Bare Naked Ladies or an English band called the Beautiful South �C so I��d hire them if I could afford them and get them here in time.
Marvin Rettenmaier: Wow! This is not easy. I don��t really need a car, I actually don��t really need anything and I��d feel bad wasting that much money on a party or something. I would get you something! Whatever you want but maybe not for the whole hundred thousand. Ah, I know! I��d get some poker lessons with Ike [Haxton], I��ve heard they��re $3,000/hour.
Mustapha Kanit: Oh wow! I��d probably buy a car if I have 24 hours and I have to spend it. I��m a lazy guy so it��s easy to spend it all on a car. The funny thing is I don��t even have a license!
Dan Smith: I don��t know what Ibiza is like at this time of year but I��d charter a jet or helicopter there, depending on what��s more feasible, and I think we��d all have a party!
Ludovic Geilich: I��d play dice at the closest table I could find. I��d also give half to charity. So, fifty thousand to charity and gamble the other half. I��d hope to have some profit at the end of the 24 hours and I��d share all that between friends and myself.
Sorel Mizzi: Three words �C hookers and blow! No, 100k in 24hours? I would buy gold, obviously, and convert it into cash later. That��s the ultimate answer but if I couldn��t find gold, hookers and blow.
John O��Shea: I��d punt it on a bet and hope to spin it up. What ever is on next Saturday, it��d all go on that. It��d be a quick way to spend the money and get rid of it in 24 hours.
Antoly Filatov: I��m going to buy everything I can find here in Malta and then take it all back to Russia and sell it for twice the price. Then I��d have �200,000 and that��s a plan, all tax-free too!
