A $200 Coin Flip
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
In the back of the Imperial Ballroom, there are dozens of people sweating the NFL playoff game between the Denver Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The fourth quarter ended moments ago, and the teams are tied 24-24, so they're headed to overtime. If you're not familiar with the rules of overtime (*cough* Donovan McNabb, *cough*) then you might not know that it begins with a coin toss.
You get where we're headed with this one, right?
Before the coin was tossed at midfield, Sam Stein and Scott "BigRiskky" Clements bet on the outcome. Stein had the Steelers, Clements the Broncos, and Denver won the toss. Stein promptly shipped two crisp Benjamins to Clements.
Lol coinflipaments.
