Sebastian Bastian and his Amazing Hat

will_shill

Nível 19 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

You can't have missed Sebastian Bastian in the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller field today. Wearing a bright red hat he's been sitting quietly and going about his business. But at some point, you've just got to ask...

"It was New Years Eve 2006," said Bastian. "I was right here at the Rio. And everyone had on these outfits for New Years so I went to the gift shop and I bought this hat."

He pointed to the hat as if to emphasise the point.

"I went back to the blackjack, and there was this guy from Texas and his wife, and he offered to buy the hat.

"He said 'I'll give you $100" and I said no. Then he said 'I'll give $500!' so I sold the hat to him."

So how come he still has the same hat very clearly upon his head?

"I went back to the gift shop and I bought the same one again. It was the very last one. I went back to the table and the same guy was still there with his wife. He must have laughed for a good four hours about it."

According to Bastian, he's worn the hat every time he's played poker since.

"I even got my first tournament cash in this hat," he said. And if he can just survive one more elimination, he might add another in the most prestigious PLO tournament in the world.
