Tweet, Tweet, Bad Beat: Mad Hatter Parties and NBA Champs in Vegas 0001

The 2017 World Series of Poker is in full swing and champions have ready been crowned in twenty-six events. There have been some interesting poker antics over the past week memorialized on Twitter and Instagram that we could not resist featuring in this week's edition of Tweet, Tweet, Bad Beat. As you'll see, life during the WSOP is not just poker, but parties, travel adventures, new babies, and so much more.

It��s going to take more than a prayer to cure that hangover!

After a night of drinking vodka @MattGlantz finally believes in the power of prayer.

Took a few days off @WSOP to welcome my son into the world. Silas Springsteen Tuchman and @mollybearor are doing well. #Love #Family

The brick phone confirms that this was without a doubt a 90s party, nice touch!

Ain't no party like a @katelinds 90's white theme party.

Don��t you have a white PH hat, Phil? If not, time to make some.

Matt Salsberg creates an entire storyline with bad-smelling food. And actually, it��s pretty hilarious. Here, the hashtag says it all - #SalmonHimToDeath.

Have @dude904 on my left so have to pull out all the nasty scummy tricks. #SalmonHimToDeath
— Matt Salsberg (@msalsberg)

That��s what happens when you angle with canned fish��what did you expect?

Wow nothing is real. I pull out the can of salmon angle and get reraised an orbit later by sardines.
— Matt Salsberg (@msalsberg)

The breath mints seem pointless��can��t possibly be strong enough!

Guy on my left just 3 bet me so had to punish him. #SalmonedHim

Is Stevie��s mustache friendlier grown out? You decide, because we can��t. (Read entire thread)

How bout now Joe?

We��ll be the first to admit that Uncle Ron can be a bit much, but we couldn��t help but fall in love with this photo of the ever-adorable and fan-favorite John Smith. That smile!
