Bodog Beat

The gun range brought plenty of smiles to Bodog WSOP qualifiers. (Bodog Beat Image)

We're here slaving away over a hot blog on the WSOP tournament floor here trying to cover the World Series of Poker the best we know how but we have to take a break from the poker to get some pictures up of today's Bodog VIP event. We got too many good shots to ignore it any longer.

We came along with the Bodog WSOP qualifiers to the Las Vegas Gun Range to warm up and then went over to Bonehead Paintball. They let off some steam at the gun range by blowing through a clip with some small handgun we didn't catch the name of (bad reporter bad!) then they went on to mess shit up with a 12ga. shotgun and then a Swedish-K, an M-16, an AK-47 and finally the mother of all handguns, a .44 Desert Eagle. Damn, that thing kicks like a mule on meth. Check the pics of the WSOP qualifiers enjoying themselves.

Jason Becher, aka FPpoker4, doesn't even need to look where he's shooting, he's just that bad ass. Actually Becher won the best shot award with his totally rad Desert Eagle skills that were by no means out-shined by this your humble blogger.

Jahnathan Westra (left), aka UFPokerstar, bet Kou Vang (middle and right), aka Killa Tyven, $200 that he couldn't shoot a royal flush with six shots from an M-16 on the card target. Well, Tyven was in the military so he took the bet. As you should be able to see by the picture he lost the bet and hit three of the five cards necessary for the royal flush, it should be noted, howevem that the resident pro shooter working at the Las Vegas Gun Range also gave it a shot and only hit two of the cards. As Westra pointed out though, his three sixes did beat Tyven's incomplete flush.

Then it was on to paintball. On the left we have Daniel Tamayo, Mac Hudson and Atanas Gueorguiev all of which we believe invested plenty of paintballs into we the Bodog blogger's asses. Thanks guys. In the middle we have Westra, Tyven and Becher finding an excuse to cozy up to the Bodog Girls. And finally on the right is our group shot. That's a lot of sweaty, happy WSOP players there.
