PokerNews' Manager of Tournament Reporting Garry Gates found himself on the losing end of a prop bet with Evelyn Ng. The two proclaimed Guitar Hero experts went head-to-head in a three-song battle, with Ng emerging victorious in a 3-0 shutout. As the winner, Ng earned $1,000 to the charity of her choice, which was the Hospital for Sick Kids in her native Toronto, Canada.

Gates' penalty for losing? He arrived this morning donning a toga and a leaf-wreath and fanned Ng with a palm leaf and fed her grapes during the first half-hour of play. Naturally, ESPN's cameras captured it all.

Tournament Director Jack Effel put a stop to the fanning after a few minutes as it was proving to be a bit of a distraction to the nearby players. But the grape-feeding continued in earnest.
