Phil Laak Sets New Guinness World Record for Longest Poker Session
Phil Laak has made history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest poker session, playing for an astonishing 115 hours. He played a $10/$20 no-limit Texas hold'em game at the Bellagio and took only 5-minute breaks every hour.
Phil Laak took a 5-minute break every hour to shower, do yoga, and nap. He ate rice, chicken, and broccoli from a container he brought with him. He completed 30 push-ups for $1,000, which he donated to the Camp Sunshine charity. Phil Laak won $6,766 during his marathon poker session.
