Eat All Night Long Whilst Playing Online Poker Games

People often associate Las Vegas with excess and over indulgence and we could certainly see their point when we heard about Joey Chestnut! This eating machine made the Vegas headlines when he took part in the first ever Martorano’s Masters Meatball Eating Competition. Yes you didn’t read it wrong, it was definitely a meatball eating competition! The restaurant owner Steve Martorano came up with the idea, “I was debating whether to have a cheese steak eating contest or a meatball eating contest,” Martorano explained. “We’re really known for our meatballs though. Gourmet magazine said we have the best meatballs in the world in 2007.”

The efforts of Joey Chestnut have actually broken the World Record for meatball consumption when he wolfed down 50 meatballs in ten minutes with a total weight of 6.25 lbs. The competition was held at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and was labelled as a Major League Eating-sanctioned contest. The competition prize wasn’t peanuts either with the winner taking home $1500. Joey is quite an achiever in competitive eating contests, so the result wasn’t totally unexpected. He has been known to seize the championship in competitions featuring chicken, pizza and Hotdogs!

One rule of the competition was that they weren’t allowed to use their hands and had to use utensils! The six foot 218 lb Chestnut grabbed the title by just one ball as the second place was taken by Pat ‘deep dish’ Bertolli who consumed 49 of the meaty treats. Third place prize went to Sonya Thomas, who for this contest was a bit of a flyweight as she only weighs in at 105 pounds, but managed to still consume 42 meatballs. Possibly we have a future contender for winning the contest, or perhaps she was just pretty hungry after her poker table games!

She should maybe think about playing poker from the comfort of her own home. That way she could eat and play all day and night long. Rakeback, Full Tilt Rakeback and Pokerstars Rakeback are all games she could sign up to. Mind you I bet if she played and ate at home, her weight wouldn’t stay at 105 pounds for long!
