Apparently high stakes poker player Jason Mo is not a big fan of Lee Jones, Head of Poker Communications at PokerStars. Mo has offered to “pony up a large amount” to someone that is willing to give Jones “a swift kick in the nuts.”
i would likely pony up a large amount to give a swift kick in the nuts and say “jmo sends his regards” :) https://t.co/vWMVXi7xrV— Jason Mo (@cuntycakes123) January 14, 2016
One of Mo’s Twitter followers has apparently booked the action should Jones travel Down Under (though we really hope the Aussie wasn’t serious).
But even given the chance to take it back, Mo simply tried to turn Schwartz’s effort to get Mo to man up and recant his offer into an attack on Schwartz.
It seems Mo may still be angry over an earlier altercation with Jones.
also pretty classless to call me a liar when money was stolen from me at a pokerstars hosted tournament i would say

Resist calling him Shimi The Cheater because Shimi The Fish is too great of a name.
The folks over at PokerUpdate.com’s The Weekly Burn & Turn are at it again. This week they discuss how Bank of America closed Daniel Negreanu’s bank account, ways to improve you poker face and Shira seeks her revenge on Shimi The Fish in another edition of Name That Pro.
There were some rumblings that this could be Shira’s last show, so if you enjoy what she brings to the table (literally….they are sitting at a table), make sure you click through to YouTube and leave a comment in support of Shira.

PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst prides herself on being “rational” and “risk-adverse,” but she has offered 200:1 odds on a $10,000 wager.
Want to know all the details? Well, it probably wont end up with anyone peeing at a poker table, but we aren’t giving out any spoilers, so you will have to watch her vidcast with (soon to be PokerStars Pro????) Maria Ho as they promote Vanessa’s new documentary on Pokeragraphy by Poker Central.
The word out of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure is that poker superstar Antonio Esfandiari was DQ’d from the PCA Main Event for peeing in a container under the table.
As a result of a prop bet with business mogul “Bill Perkins” where “The Magician” needed to lunge everywhere he went for 48 hours, Esfandiari was apparently too sore to lunge his way to the bathroom and opted instead to relieve himself at the table.
Even though he reportedly had a “towel and blockers”, the PCA staff was having none of it and kicked him out of the tournament for “breach of etiquette.”
Esfandiari was apologetic after realizing his lapse in judgement, but he apparently saw it coming.
Been LUNGING around my hotel room all day. Just going to the bathroom and back is starting take a toll on my legs. I am in trouble tomrw!— Antonio Esfandiari (@MagicAntonio) January 09, 2016
Check out the interview he gave with PokerNews’ Sarah Herring after getting booted.
