This may not be quite as exciting as the ongoing Durrrr challenge, but Nick Rainey who plays under the Full Tilt Poker username Stinko_Mikko (also known as ‘SNG Nick’) is currently half way through his attempt to break the world record for the most online sit’n'go tournaments played in a month.
In 31 days (expiring April 13th) Nick agreed not only to play at least a staggering 16,000 sit’n'go tournaments, he must win at least $10,000 profit from doing so or he will lose around $1600 in his open prop-bet. Nick set odds of 3-1 and hoped to risk $30,000 for $150,000 of action but only managed to get $5,000 laid against him.
Any would-be betters who decided not to bet against Nick must be pleased they made the right decision - as things stand Nick is speeding through the SNGs at what for many would be a urine-bucket requiring rate of about 1,000 SNGs a day. Way to go Nick!
