Antonio Esfandiari Pays Bill Perkins To Have Sex
April 18, 2014 1:01 pmAfter making an astonishing $1 million ‘no sex’ bet with Bill Perkins, Antonio Esfandiari said all it took was nine days before he eventually caved in and paid the billionaire businessman an undisclosed sum so he could once more get back to performing his bedroom magic.
Apparently the prop bet was originally struck while the two amigos were in Sweden, and as the 35 year-old poker pro explains: “I was a couple of gin and tonics in, and it came up somehow. My buddy, Bill Perkins, said, “For a million dollars you’d have to go the whole year.” I’m someone that values and respects money, and I just said, “I think I could do it for 500K.”
According to the terms of their hastily agreed deal, which Perkins told Antonio would expire in ten seconds if not accepted there and then, the poker pro wan’t even allowed to toss his own salad, and as he explains:
“if I induce release, self or assisted, in any way, shape, or form, I would lose.”
Nevertheless, in spite of a huge reward waiting at the end of the year for him, Antonio Esfandiari must have found it near impossible to ignore the aching in his knackers and so by day nine had written what he termed “a very heartfelt letter” to Bill offering to buy himself out “for X amount”. Bill accepted the deal and so Antonio Esfandiari was thus able to resume his extracurricular activities without having a $500k penalty slapped on him by Perkins.
I would say all’s well that ends well, but this week Antonio Esfandiari was spotted at Las Vegas airport begging for money to buy food, indicating that if he had exercised a bit more gonadal will power, maybe he wouldn’t have been caught short. As Antonio tweeted:
“I kid u not I found myself at LV airport right now w ZERO cash and no CC – and starving – what did I do ?!? Walked around until I found a…Poker fan n asked him to borrow 30$ He could not believe it !! Now I get to eat and he will be paid back in spades TY.”
