Doyle Brunson Beer Pong Challenge II Was Fun

It's almost impossible not to have fun playing beer pong. You're about as likely to hear, "Yeah, that was a boring night of beer pong" as you are "I just wasn't a fan of that blowjob."

Throw some sick gambling in there to boot, and the experience is even that much better (would hold true for both the beer pong and the blowjob, actually).

With that in mind, the Doyle Brunson Beer Pong Challenge II happened on Monday. Some highlights you'll find in the below vid: 1) Whoever developed the use of trick mirrors and CGI to create the Lee Watkinson/Markholt team should win an Oscar...impressive stuff, 2) Liv Boiree is hot, cool...and possibly dating Jon Friedberg? Really? Nice enough guy but really wtf? Is this true?

Anyway, this is one of our favorite poker videos so far this year. Enjoy.

Lee Watkinson/Markholt to Team Up For Doyle Brunson Beer Pong Challenge II

We just got the so far confirmed list of players for the Doyle Brunson Beer Pong Challenge II to take place next Monday--and one team particularly stood out: Lee Watkinson/Markholt.

What? How can this be?

Seriously, how exactly is this feat going to be accomplished? Trick mirrors? CGI? Some hocus pocus or slight of hand from Antonio Esfandiari or... heaven forbid... Scott Lazar?

Anyway, below is a partial list of confirmed players that will be competing along with Team Markinsonholt^TM. RawVegas.tv will be there filming as well. Below below is last year's event. Should be fun.

Todd Brunson and Brett Jungblunt / Hoyt Corkins and Doyle Brunson / Erica Schoenberg and Dave Stann / Scott Ian and Mike Murray / Marshall Reign-Jason and Corey (a country band) / Brandon Cantu and Jeff Madsen / Joe Sebok and [partner not yet confirmed] / Bryan Micon and [partner not yet confirmed]

Doyle Brunson Beer Pong Video

Just days ahead of the $25,000 buy-in WPT World Championship at the Bellagio, some of the biggest names in the game met up with poker legend Doyle Brunson at Hog & Heifers in Las Vegas for a little friendly Beer Pong competition set up by jane-of-all-trades Lara Miller. Among the pros there to lob the pongs while getting soused on the High Life included Todd Brunson, Jen Harman, Hoyt Corkins (at right), Phil Hellmuth, Gank Jungblut, and Marco Traniello.

RawVegas.tv was there to cover the action as Doyle and teammate Hoyt took on his son Todd and some poker dude from Montana. See how they fared in the video below although the screen grab above of Corkins after the match looking totally shit-faced is a bit of a spoiler. By the way, is there a movement to make Beer Pong an Olympic sport? If our Eskimo neighbors to the north were able to get shuffleboarding a rock on ice with a kitchen broom in there, no reason why we shouldn't be giving out gold medals for a skilled sport like Beer Pong.
