Play Online Poker And Still Have a Meal at The Same Time – Brilliant

People often tie in Las Vegas with excess and over the top stories, and it certainly seemed to be the case when we heard about Joey Chestnut! This eating machine made the Vegas headlines when he took part in the first ever Martorano’s Masters Meatball Eating Championship. You didn’t read the headline wrong, it was a meatball eating contest! The owner of the restaurant where the competition was held came up with the idea, but originally was undecided as to whether to choose cheese steak or meatballs. “We’re really known for our meatballs though. During 2007 Gourmet magazine said they had the best meatballs.

The efforts of Joey Chestnut have actually broken the World Record for meatball consumption when he wolfed down 50 meatballs in ten minutes with a total weight of 6.25 lbs. The competition was held at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and was labelled as a Major League Eating-sanctioned contest. The competition prize wasn’t to be sniffed at either because the winner was set to take home $1500. If you were thinking that the results were totally unexpected then you would be mistaken as Joey is quite an expert in the field of competitive eating. He has been known to seize the championship in competitions featuring chicken, pizza and Hotdogs!

There was no stuffing meatballs in by hand, as the rule of this competition was eating by using utensils only! Joey Chestnut weighs a mighty 218lbs and stands at over six feet tall, so perhaps it was no surprise that he took first place, however coming a close second and missing out by only one meatball was Pat Bertolli. Third place prize went to Sonya Thomas, who for this contest was a bit of a flyweight as she only weighs in at 105 pounds, but managed to still consume 42 meatballs. Possibly we have a future contender for winning the contest, or perhaps she was just pretty hungry after her poker table games!

Perhaps she could have a go at playing online poker at home. That way she could eat and play all day and night long. Rakeback, Full Tilt Rakeback and Pokerstars Rakeback are all games she could sign up to. Of course if she ate and played at home for too long, I can’t see her weight staying at 105 pounds for very long!
