Hey all I have just finalized a deal with Phil Laak to do his diet and supplementation during his attempt to break the world record for longest consecutive poker session starting tomorrow at the Bellagio. ESPN (as well as a host of poker shows and other sports networks) will be there doing a story on it. Tomorrow at 11:15 is the interview with ESPN and he will be introducing me as All American Dave, his trainer and nutritionist and I might get to interject a few things!! He will be sipping on EFX LBA and using KA Pro for some steady energy! news.bluffmagazine.com/phil-laak-to-attempt-to-break-world-record-for-endurance-poker-10974/Check it out! |

I went to the Bellagio yesterday at noon to deliver Phil his first set of meals, he had already sat down to start playing, the early commotion had subsided and there were only a couple cameras and media people there. I was in and out without being noticed too much, which is fine with me! Then on my second trip down there around 10pm when I came in and started talking to Phil, the cameras started rolling and filming our conversation....they filmed for a few minutes and then asked if they could ask me a few questions. I'm not even sure what company it was for but I said sure......I got soooo nervous being in front of the camera, I was literally shaking! Geez! Then I realized they were asking me about stuff that I KNOW and all I had to do was go off that, after that I just relaxed and went with it. The lady was really happy and said that was a "GREAT SEGMENT!" Whew.... Pretty cool  |

Thanks man!!! There is a live feed online showing him doing the record and you'll see me coming in every 4-5 hours.....24 hours a day!! The link is www.acejones.com that links you to unibomberpoker which is Phil's site. It's funny on the live stream they keep talking about his diet and pay close attention when he sips on EFX LBA'S!! |

Thanks Russ! Just got back from the Bellagio, Phil is at hour 60 and doing great! The talk is all about his diet!! Also just found out the two interviews I did, one of which was about KA PRO as an energy boost, were for ESPN! I have no idea at this point when or where or IF it will be used but pretty damn cool none the less |

Phil still going strong, this morning at 7am when I take him breakfast he'll be at 92 hours straight! Unreal... Ton's of talk about KA PRO going on... he has a capsule in a covered glass sitting on the table, it's his "go to" when he can't go anymore. look at www.acejones.com where the live feed is and you'll hear them talk about it. |

Heres the flip side:
I mean no disrespect to what Paul and Dave are doing. Awesome!
However, we must keep in mind that the "pills" or "drinks" or whatever he may be taking may become fodder for ESPN and anyone else who wants to shed negativity on the supplement industry.
I set up an interview with my CEO and ESPN 360 about energy drinks. I was told that it was going to be a positive piece......well when the day came they threw nothing but negativity at us. They said we marketed to kids, they said we were too srtong, they said our ingrdeients werent on the label etc. All of which were rebutted becasue we knew that was the type of interview they would do.
Not trying to be a downer but be careful what you say.

I hear ya, the cool thing is he hasn't taken ANYTHING other that EFX LBA's and the KA PRO is only the emergency energy support that only has tea extracts as stims... Phil just keeps talking about it as his "go to" when he is about to crash. I did talk to him and tell him that doing this with ZERO stims would be so pure and that's what he's going to do. A doctor will be there this morning at 4am to do a drug test to prove it! |

FINALLY!!! Phil Laak decided to call it a session at 115 hours straight crushing the old Guinness World Record! This experience has been wild and is resulting in some pretty neat and exciting propositions for me and my career. I have done numerous interviews for ESPN, Bluff Magazine, Card Player, and others. I was asked this morning to be a guest on a poker radio show called Rounders Radio or something and I had a reporter call me today trying to pitch 944 Magazine to do a story on ME?  !!!!!! BIG DEEP BREATH..... wooooow, I keep thinking I'm dreaming, like this can't be happening to me.........but I'm WIDE AWAKE and it is!!!!! *AFTER ALL OF THIS HE ENDED UP WINNING $7500 AND WAS STILL "mostly" THERE MENTALLY! |
