What would you do if you bought into a $125 buy-in nightly tournament and found yourself seated in a $25,000 high roller? Would you say anything? Maybe try to freeroll your way into a six-figure score? On Friday night, one player apparently tried to do the latter.
While amateurs packed the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino for The Colossus event, some of poker's bigger names headed over to Aria, which is where one of their regular one-day $25,000 High Roller tournaments was being held. All was par for the course, until a mystery interloper, whom the forums have dubbed "Curly," crashed the party.
