High Stakes Poker and presidential politics
I'm watching an episode of High Stakes Poker - it's a little old, though. The players are having a discussion about politics.

First, somebody mentions Obama. Jennifer Harman says "ooh, I like him!" Then Antonio Esfandiari says "I heard he's an atheist." (wtf?) and Harman then goes "oh, well forget that." That's a shame - I love Harman.

Then Doyle Brunson, the granddaddy of poker, offers a $10,000 bet that if Clinton is the nominee, she'll win. A few players take him up on it, including Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth, who states that while he'll be rooting for her, he thinks she'd lose.
