A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the bet between two pro poker players that would see one of the men attempt to spend 30 days locked inside a pitch-black bathroom with no contact with the outside world, no form of entertainment and no way to tell how much time had passed. If he could do it, he’d win $100,000. If he couldn’t, he’d lose $100,000.
Now, after 20 days, Rich Alati has emerged from his prison. Alati and Rich Young—the guy who proposed the challenge—reached a buyout agreement on Monday night that gave Alati $62,400.
