\"\"The prop bet that made the most noise in 2018 has been called off after both players agreed to a deal. The global poker community<\/a> was shocked last month when news broke that two poker pros had agreed to a dangerous prop both that involved $100,000 and would be carried out over a 30 day period.<\/p>\n

Poker pro Rory Young<\/strong> issued a prop bet to Rich Alati<\/a> which involved him living in total isolation in a dark bathroom for a 30 day period<\/strong>. Young had spent a lot of time studying the impact that total isolation had on the mind and was confident enough to wager $100,000<\/strong> that Alati would not last the full 30 days. The deal also stipulated that if Alati could not last the 30 days, he would have to pay Young a $100,000. <\/p>\n

The conditions of the bet would provide Alati with a dark bathroom which he would have to live in for 30 days. He would not be allowed any contact with the outside world, no internet, no alcohol or sleeping aids<\/strong>. All he had was a refrigerator and a supply of fresh food, water and multi-vitamins. <\/p>\n

The poker world was outraged at this bet as they thought it would have long term negative effects on Alati\u2019s mental health. <\/p>\n
