All of the guys who write the baseball blogs I normally read are also consumed by their love for poker. So I know more about it than I’d really care to. Anyway…Jennifer Tilly (who looks better and better the older she gets I must say) won the World Series of Poker Ladies Event and has been getting lots of press for it.
That is nice and all, but while looking at the other results, I was floored by this revelation:
Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is Gene Kaplan. Better known to me as Mr. Kotter. Who finished in second place I might add. I love it! Just for the sheer absurdity of it, here is a portion from the random notes section of the article I read: Gabe Kaplan is a proud graduate of P.S. 161 in New York City. He’s lists his occupation as a marine biologist and thoroughly enjoys armadillo races. His nickname is “Pookie” and he collects a modest residual paycheck for his days on Welcome Back, Kotter.
Only in Vegas…
