Smith and Seebok undergo Chinese water torture

It may not reach the comedic heights of watching Gavin Smith clinging on to a mechanical bull for a painful eight seconds, the most recent episode of Prop Bets is still must see television.


 

The latest instalment of the Rawvegas.tv series features perennial prop bettors Gavin Smith and Joe Seebok submitting to ancient Chinese water torture. As usual there is $10,000 at stake, and with Smith still smarting from last episodes defeat, it should be a fiercely contested battle.

 

The two professional poker players (and world class pranksters) are strapped on to a board in pitch darkness while a steady drip of water trickles down their face.

 

But it takes more than ancient torture to dampen the spirits of these two, and after a few minutes Smith was already quipping “when you decided to give up work and become a professional poker player did you envision lying strapped down on a thing with water running on your forehead?"

 

To which Seebok quickly answers: “The weird thing is that I tried to become a Chinese water torture expert first," replies Sebok. "I don't know; I feel I could do this for a long time.”
