A very dangerous prop bet

Poker site PKR.com who offers online poker in nice 3d environments now also launches a paper full of article and news, combined with interviews with players from the site. The “newspaper” as I call it will reach all of the loyal PKR customers every quarter, meaning 4 issues a year.
I got over this first edition called “Stacked” and read it yesterday. I actually found it pretty interesting and the half an hour flew by fast. I really enjoyed the “cash king” and “SNG king” interviews, which was just as it
sounds like. An interview with an outstatnding cash player and SNG player on PKR.com the past time.
But as the big prop bet fan I am, the “Top 5 Prop bet list” was the one article to make me think the paper is closer to Very good than good on a scale.
You cannot say that the number 1 on the list was up there because a big amount of money was involved, more because it was a wicked bet.
The thing was that Tom “Durrrr” Dwan would give anyone who made a dive into an 18-foot deep shark tank $5,000.
$5,000!!! I wouldn’t do it for $50,000!
Anyway, there was this one brave guy called Harry from the 2+2 forum who accepted the bet, and won. Just to lose all of the money to Mike “The Mouth” Matusaw on the poker table a moment later with A-Q vs 2-2.
Wonder what was worse, losing that hand to Mikey or diving with the sharks.
Harry if you read this, tell me please! 
I also liked the number 5 spot. Huck Seed betting Phil Hellmuth $50,000 that he could stand with water up to his shoulders for 18 hours. Huck paid the amount to Phil after just 3 hours. Huck Seed just lost $40,000 though since he won the bet with Howard Lederer of $10,000 that he could learn to do a standing back-flip!
GG Huck!
Now I’m off for a short time poker session after this 14 hour long working day.
Don’t know if it is a good or bad thing yet. We’ll see!
See you soon
