Story

<p><strong>Longest Poker Marathon - World Record Attempt</strong></p> <p> <p><em>The current record for the longest time an individual has continuously played poker is 115 hours and was achieved by Phil Laak&nbsp;</em><em>at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, from 2nd to 7th June 2010.... <strong>This summer, I will attempt to break the record.</strong></em></p> <p>In case you were wondering, 115 hours is 4.79 days, or 6,900 minutes or 414,000 seconds .</p> <p>In that time you will blink 110,400 times, you will sweat 92 litres, and normally I would sleep about 33 hours!!</p> </p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
