Calling the Clock: Penises; Philanthropy, and Promotions

In this week’s Calling the Clock Lee Davy brings you a weekly round up of poker news that includes a penis winning €250,000, a Dempsey winning the Grand Prix Poker Tour Main Event, and a Foggy winning the partypoker Big Bluff Challenge.

The few weeks after the World Series of Poker (WSOP) disappears until November always feels like Monday on repeat when I used to work the nine to five. It’s not good. Very little happens, but I will do my best to create an update worthy of your time and attention with the scraps of poker news that breezed onto my desk this week like crispy brown leaves.

A few years ago, some Russian dude thought it would be a laugh to open up a PokerStars account and call himself SolidPenis. We’ve all been there. I once used the password SlimeyVagina for my BT account and had to change it after feeling a little sorry conveying it to the customer service clerk when moaning about poor customer service.

Well, the guy is probably regretting it right now after winning €250,000 while playing a Spin & Go while streaming live on Twitch. Now that’s one for the X-Files right there. A guy named SolidPenis wins €250,000 playing a PokerStars Spin & Go while streaming live on Twitch.
