(Ifoto nguPatrick McMullan) Kunyaka ophelileyo ngeli xesha, ilizwe lobugcisa besixeko- kunye neendawo zalo eziphezulu zokubheja ezemidlalo kunye nemidlalo yokubheja kwezemidlalo, kwaye kungothusa abanye ukufumanisa isixa sokuqengqeleka kulomzobo othile waseVenn- yayiyingxaki yokubanjwa nokubekwa ityala Umthengisi wobugcisa uHillel Helly Nahmad. Indlalifa eneminyaka engama-34 kunye nendoda malunga nedolophu ibaleka igalari ye-Helly Nahmad ngaphakathi kweCarlyle Hotel kwi-Madison Avenue kwaye ityholwa ngokuxhaphaza izigidi zeedola kunye nabantu baseRussia u-Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov no-Vadim Trincher nangaphezulu kweshumi elinambini labanye kwisikimu esiquka isixhenxe. -imifanekiso yamakhadi, amakhonkco ukubheja kwezemidlalo kwilizwe jikelele kunye abaxutywayo bokulwa ubugcisa bokulwa njengabaqokeleli bamatyala.
Kunyaka kamva, uMnu. Nahmad wagwetywa kwaye kwiveki ephelileyo ugwetyelwe unyaka kunye nosuku entolongweni kunye ne-30,000 yeedola. (Wabane ecetywayo Njengenye indlela yokuya ejele ukuba avunyelwe ukuba afundise abantu abangenamakhaya ngobugcisa.) UMnu. Tokhtakhounov ubanzi eRashiya - kude lee kude noJohnny Law. Umnumzana Trincher ujongene nobuninzi beminyaka engamashumi amabini kunye neminyaka emithathu yokukhutshwa kweliso elibukhali xa egwetywa ecaleni kuka Mnumzana Nahmad. Kodwa kwenzeka ntoni ngomnye wamanani abangel 'umdla kweli bali - umfazi oneenwele ezihlungayo otyholwa ngokuseka imidlalo? NgoDisemba, uMolly Bloom ulivumile ityala ukuqokelela iharike kumdlalo we-poker emva koko wenza eyona nto inkulu yaseMelika enokwenziwa sisaphuli-mthetho-wabhala incwadi.
Umdlali osungula umdlalo, uHouston Curtis. (Qhagamshela)
Umdlalo kaMolly: Amanqwanqwa aphakamileyo, i-Hollywood Elite, ii-Hotshot Bankers, Ubomi bam kwiLizwe lePoker engaphantsi komhlaba iya kukhutshwa zii-It Books ngoJuni 24 kwaye umatshini we-buzz kaHarperCollins ungene kwi-overdrive yokukhuthaza iPoker Princess ye-photogenic. NgoLwesihlanu, uNks Bloom waye ugwetyelwe Kunyaka wovavanyo kwaye wahlawuliswa i-1, 000 yeedola. Ngaphambi kokugqiba ngokuchanekileyo ukuba intolongo iya kuba yinto ehlekisayo kumntu owazisa abanye abantu ngokuzonwabisa, ijaji yomanyano, u-Jesse M. Furman (ongumzalwana kaJason Furman, uSihlalo kaMongameli u-Obama IBhunga laBacebisi ngezoQoqosho ), wabuza uNksk Bloom malunga Umdlalo kaMolly Ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukuzithoba kwakhe kuyinyani kwaye ngekhe kuphindwe kwenziwe ngezityhilelo ezikwincwadi.
Umhlobo osondeleyo, umdlali we-poker kunye nomvelisi kamabonwakude uHouston Curtis, njengabanye abaninzi ababedlala kwimidlalo kaNks Bloom, uye walandula ukungacatshulwa zezinye iimpapasho eziye zafuna ukwenza udliwanondlebe naye malunga noNks Bloom, kodwa waphula ukuthula kwakhe okokuqala apha. Kwii-40 zakhe zokuqala, uMnu. Curtis wazichaza kwi Umjongi njengomdlali we-poker obalaseleyo ogqibe imali kwiitumente ezininzi. Wajonga uNksk Bloom ngaphambi kokuba aqale ukuthetha ne Umjongi , kungekudala ngaphambi kokugwetywa kwakhe.
Ngenxa yentlonipho yobuhlobo bam noMiss Bloom, ndatsalela umnxeba ukuba ndimnike intloko. Akukho lityala, kodwa intombazana ehluphekileyo iye yadlula esihogweni, kwaye andifuni ukufaka isandla kwinto enokwenza mandundu ngakumbi. Ndifuna ukwazi ukuba uziva njani xa ndithetha nawe phambi kokuba ndigqibe kwelokuba ndiphendule imibuzo yakho.
Umdlali owasungula umdlalo we-LA, uMnu Curtis wavakala njengengqina lomlingiswa xa wayexelela i Umjongi , UMolly Bloom wayeyintombazana ekrelekrele, emnandi, enamabhongo, owayesebenza nzima kakhulu ekuququzeleleni into eyayifanele ukuba yenye yezona zinto zibalaseleyo, ezona zihamba phambili ngeveki imidlalo ye-poker yamaxesha onke. Kuzo zonke iinkqubano zam naye, usebenze ngokuziphatha kakuhle, ngaphezulu kwebhodi nangokunyaniseka okukhulu. Andikwazi ukuthetha nayo nayiphi na imidlalo uMolly ayidibanise xa wayefudukela eNew York ngenxa yokuba ndingakhange ndiye kuyo.
Incwadi kaNks Bloom iphantsi kwesitshixo kunye nesitshixo, kodwa nguHarperCollins iwebhusayithi iyathembisa Incwadi eneenkcukacha zokuba i-brunette encinci evela eLoveland, eColorado, ibaleke njani kwezona ndawo zibalaseleyo, eyona midlalo iphambili ye-poker eHollywood eyakha yabonwa. Umthombo wopapasho osondeleyo kuNks Bloom kwaye umpapashi wakhe uxelele Umjongi ukuba istrolroller solindelo sele sisithulu, ngokukhutshwa okulungelelanisiweyo okucwangciswe yiABC kwimiboniso emininzi. (NGAPHAMBILI: The Umjongi ufundile nje ukuba into evanithi ngokuthambile uya kuba nesicatshulwa esivela Umdlalo kaMolly .)
Ubonakala emhle kubafana abaninzi abanjengoBen Affleck kunye [Matt] Damon nabo bonke abo bafana, kodwa utshabalalisa uTobey Maguire. |
Ngokomnye umthombo, le ncwadi iyakuhlala ikwimeko entle, ubuncinci phakathi kwabo balambele ulwazi olongezelelekileyo kwilizwe elinemingxunya yokungcakaza okuphezulu. Khange ndiyifunde, kodwa uHelly undixelele ukuba ngumfanekiso ochanekileyo wendawo ye-poker kwaye ubiza amagama, njengamagama apheleleyo, abiza amagama ngokugqibeleleyo. Kwaye ubonakala emhle kubafana abaninzi abanjengoBen Affleck kunye [Matt] Damon nabo bonke abo bafana, kodwa uyamtshabalalisa uTobey Maguire. Omnye umthombo oqhelene nale ncwadi uthi nangona ungqalile ngakumbi ngoMnu Maguire kunabanye abantu abadumileyo, igama elithi ukutshabalalisa linamandla kakhulu.
Kodwa kulapho ibali lifumana umdla.
UMnu Maguire uthathwa njengoyena mdlali ubalaseleyo phakathi kwabadlali abadlala i-poker. Ngokwimithombo emibini, akukho namnye kubo onokuvuma ukucatshulwa ngegama kuba bobabini bayaqhubeka nokusebenza kwizangqa zomdlalo weqonga apho kudlala khona uMnu Maguire, UNks Bloom uthi elinye lamaqhinga kaMnu Maguire kukuba wayelungiselela imidlalo ngokufanelekileyo Ukutsala abadlali abanesithende.
UTobey ufumene uMolly ukuba adibanise le midlalo esebenzisa abahlobo abanjengoLeo DiCaprio ukuba bahlale etafileni. UTobey wayehlawula umrhumo wabo wokungena, kwaye usebenzisa uLeo njengomgibe wokufumana aba bhiliyoni njengo-Alec Gores noAndy Beal ukuba beze kwimidlalo.
Icebo lalibonakala ngathi lisebenzile.
Umgcini-bhanki uMnu Beal yenye yezona zityebi eMelika, enexabiso eliqikelelweyo nge-10 yezigidigidi. Ukwangumfundi osemthethweni we-poker, emva kokuphumelela kusuku olunye kuphela kwimbali yezemidlalo (kunye nelahleko enkulu). Kwaxelwa ngu Iradar ukuba uMnu Gores noMnu Maguire babephakathi kwabo Ukuqhutywa nguMnu Beal kwijethi yabucala ukuya eTexas ngo-2011 kwitumente eyayine- $ 1 yezigidi yokuthenga kodwa umthombo osondeleyo kuMnu. Gores unyanzelisa ukuba bekungekho njalo. Lo mthombo ubanga ukuba uAlec wandizela i-Super Bowl, hayi umdlalo wekhadi. Akukho mntu umngenisileyo. Umdlalo wokulanda phakathi kwabahlobo uthathe imilo kodwa ngokomthombo, ibingeyiyo itumente nakweyiphi na imeko. Ukuthengwa bekungekho kufutshane ne- $ 1 yezigidi.
Inkqubo ye- INew York Post kuqikelelwa ukuba uMnu Beal ulahlekelwe ukuya kuthi ga kwi-50 yezigidi zeedola ngaloo mpelaveki , inani athe uMnu Beal waliphikisa ngamandla. Kodwa akukho mntu uphikisayo ukuba izixa zokudlala zazinkulu. (Iinkcukacha zokukhathazeka kukaMnu Beal nge-poker e-extreme-stakes zifumaneka kwincwadi ye-2005 engenakukwazi ukubeka phantsi) Unjingalwazi, iBhanki, kunye neKumkani yokuzibulala: Ngaphakathi komdlalo oPhezulu wePoker kulo lonke ixesha nge Umjongi 'Ngowakhe uMichael Craig.)

Umnumzana Gores, umSirayeli ongumSirayeli ngokokutsho kwakhe, ubekwa kwi-273 kwi Uluhlu lweForbes 400 , eqikelelwa kwi-2 yezigidigidi zeedola kwi-teknoloji yabucala yokulingana. Yena noMnumzana Maguire batyhola isixa semali kwi-poker evela kumphathi we-Ponzi hedge fund ohlazileyo uBrad Ruderman, owagwetywa iminyaka eli-10. Abatyalomali abaqhathe ogama linguMnu Maguire kunye noMnu Gores kwisimangalo befuna ukubuyisela umva ezinye zezo mpumelelo, kuba bebexhaswa ngemali zizinto ezingekho mgangathweni zikaMnu. Umnumzana Gores kamva wahlawula ibango le- $ 445,400 ngumphathiswa we-bankruptcy ngokubetha itsheki malunga ne-200,430 yeedola, ngokutsho kuka-Howard Ehrenberg, umphathiswa othe ngcu lokuhlawula amatyala wamangalela iqela labadlali ababehlawulwe nguMnu. Ruderman ngemali ethathwe kubatyali mali.
Abadlali abadlala kakuhle NjengoJennifer Tilly kunye noBen Affleck, ngokutsho komnye wemithombo, uMnu Maguire udlala kwinqanaba eligqithise kakuhle kumdlali weqonga kwaye esondela kwinqanaba labadlali abaphumeleleyo kwi-World Series. Ukuhlawula imali encinci yokungena ukuze ujoyine uLeonardo DiCaprio kufanelekile kuMnu.Maguire ukuba utsala abadlali abancinci. Umthombo uqhubeke. Eyona nto inomdla ngakumbi kukuba abanye babo badlali ngoku baxhasa inkampani kaTobey, iMifanekiso yeZinto. Ke aba bafana banike uTobey imali yokwenza ingxowa-mali yophuhliso lwemiboniso bhanya-bhanya, kwaye ndicinga ukuba le ncwadi izakutsho ukuba ... ebengabakhohlisi ngokuchanekileyo, kodwa njengokumisela imidlalo apho basengxakini.
Nangona uMnu Gores ebonakalisile umdla ekwenzeni ifilimu- yena nomntakwabo uTom babephakathi kwabo ukubhida ukuthenga iMiramax kwaye abazalwana babekhe banesabelo kwiLionsgate Entertainment - isithethi sakhe saphika ngokucacileyo ukuba sinxibelelene nesivumelwano esinjalo noMnu Maguire: Khange atyale imali kwinkampani kaMnu Maguire yophuhliso okanye yemveliso, kwaye akazange atyale nakweyiphi na inkampani ecaleni kuka Mnu. Maguire. Ngokubhekisele kuAndy Beal, isithethi sakhe sathi nje, Mnu Beal akaphawuli kwimicimbi yotyalo mali lomntu. Imizamo emininzi yokufikelela kuMnu Maguire ngabameli bakhe kwi-360Management kubandakanya ii-imeyile kunye nokufowuna kwisithuba seeveki ezininzi akuphumelelanga.
Asikokukopa; kukukhohlisa nje. |
Ngeli xesha, ke kuthekani ukuba uMnu Maguire ubhatele imali yokungena kwabahlobo abadumileyo? Inkqubo ye- Umjongi Kuqinisekisiwe kumthombo ukuba kubonakala ngathi inyani ayisebenzi. Ukuba uAndy Beal udlala kumdlalo kuba efuna ukubanakho ukuxelela izihlobo zakhe azidlalileyo noLeo Dicaprio, ayikokukhohlisa oko. Kwaye njengoko uMaguire ekwipoker, UMnumzana Beal unokuba ngomnye wabadlali abalungileyo kwihlabathi- ayicingeki into yokuba angaphakwa.
Kulungile, uvumile umthombo. Asikokukopa; kukukhohlisa nje. Mhlawumbi kunjalo, kodwa akukho nto xa kuthelekiswa nenye i-tidbit ebandakanya uMnu Maguire. Ngokutsho kwale mithombo mibini mibini, uMnumzana Maguire uthatha ityala lomdlali elikhulu lokungcakaza kwaye wajika umntu ongenathamsanqa waba luhlobo lokudlala i-poker. Ngokusisiseko wayecinga ukuba umntu unetyala elikufutshane kwisigidi seedola kwaye emva koko wenza ukuba asebenze kunye nokuwina. Umntu waze wahlaselwa yintliziyo. Ngamantongomane amahle.
Inkqubo ye- Umjongi Ufundile ukuba umdlali othengwe nguMnu Maguire yayingenguye omnye umntu ngaphandle kukaHouston Curtis, umhlobo osenyongweni kaMolly Bloom. UMnu Curtis wayesebenze kakhulu kwimveliso yetv iminyaka, kubandakanya ukuvelisa Umdlalo wokuDibana kunye nokuma okufutshane njengoMlawuli woPhuhliso kwi-MTV athi ibandakanya ukuhlwayela enye imbewu IiOsbournes . Wayekwangumsunguli wenkampani yemveliso yevidiyo eSherman Oaks ebizwa Umbono omkhulu wokuzonwabisa , Evelise izinto ezinje nge-infomercials kunye nevidiyo yokufundisa Inkqubo yePhil Hellmuth yezigidi zeedola Poker ; Umnumzana Hellmuth wayeza kubamba umnyhadala wamawaka amabini eedola wokuthenga kwitumente exhaswa nguMbono oMkhulu kaMnu Maguire yaqhubeka ukuphumelela , Ukugqwesa ngaphezulu kwekhulu labanye abadlali ukuba bagoduke nge-95,480 yeedola.
Ngokwenxalenye yakhe, umntu osemva kokufumana kukaMnu Maguire's largesse akabonakali ngathi unazo naziphi na iimvakalelo ezinzima. Kuthotho lweefowuni, ii-imeyile kunye nemibhalo, uMnu Curtis watyhilela i Umjongi Iinkcukacha ngqo zelungiselelo phakathi kwakhe noMnumzana Maguire kwaye ngokwenza njalo kwavula iwindow kwilizwe elalingekaziwa ngaphambili kulo mdlalo ophezulu.
Ilula kakhulu into eyenzekileyo. Kwakukho ubusuku obubi obunye etafileni. Sasidlala i-poker kwaye ndangcwatywa kumdlalo kwaye imidlalo yadlala enkulu. Ngobo busuku ndalahlekelwa sisigidi seedola. Ndadibana noTobey malunga nayo kwaye ndakrwela isivumelwano esandivumela ukuba ndiqhubeke nokudlala. Akazange ahlawule isigidi esipheleleyo; wafaka i-600,000 yeedola zayo. Ndiza kumhlawula iipesenti ezingama-50 zokuphumelela kwam de abuye ahlawulwe kwaye emva koko wayefumana i-50% yokuphumelela kwam kunyaka olandelayo. Wayesazi ukuba ixesha elide ndiza kuphumelela kulomdlalo cuz yile nto mna naye sayenza kulomdlalo- siphumelele.

Ke ilahleko zam beziphezu kwam; Iimpumelelo zam zaya kuthi sobabini. UTobey uzenzela izinto ezintle, uyazingca ngaloo nto. Ndambhatala ngokupheleleyo zingaphelanga iinyanga ezimbini, kodwa kwaba yinto engenakwenzeka ukugcina ndidlala phantsi kuba ndicinga ngayo. Ndidlala ubusuku obunye kwaye ndiphumelele i-100,000- $ 50,000 iya eTobey. Ndidlala ngobusuku obulandelayo kwaye ndiphumelele i-100,000- $ 50,000 iya eTobey. Ndidlala ubusuku besithathu kwaye ndilahlekelwe yi- $ 100,000. Oko kum. Ke ndiphumelele ubusuku obuthathu nobuthathu kodwa ndiphela ndingenanto kwaye uTobey ufumana i-100, 000 yeedola.
UMnu Curtis uqhubeke: Ekugqibeleni yafika apho ndingasakwazi ukudlala khona. Ekupheleni kwayo, ndandimtyala i-300,000 yeedola kwi-win kwaye ndamxelela ukuba ndiyayeka. Undixelele, ‘Mamela, andizukugcina zonke ezi mpumelelo.’ Ndicinga ukuba kuTobey, yayilulonwabo olukhulu lokwazi ukuba wenze isivumelwano esihle. Wayeyazi ukuba ndinengxaki ngeshishini lam kwaye wathi ungakhathazeki malunga ne- $ 300,000.
Ngaba konke oku kubangele ukuba uhlaselwe yintliziyo?
Ndandihlaselwe yintliziyo kodwa yayiyingxaki yokuba zizigidi ngezigidi kwaye ndiqiniswa ziinkampani zokuhambisa ezine ngaphakathi kweenyanga ezili-18 kwaye ndibukele umdlalo omkhulu we-poker uhamba ngendlela kwaye into kaRuderman ibeka ubuxoki endlwini yam. Ukuba nayo yonke into yokungabi nayo yonke into ubusuku bonke kwanele ukubeka nabani na esibhedlele, kodwa kwakungekho nto yakwenza noTobey.
Ukuba uvavanyo lukaMnu Curtis lwesisa lomdlali osisityebi olwamenza waba UBrady Bunch Ikhoboka lesitayile seveki, oko kubonakala ngathi kukhanya kamnandi apho uninzi lwabadlali bawujonga umdlalo owonwabele kakuhle. Mna noTobey asisathethi njengakuqala kodwa ndimthatha njengomhlobo. Ekugqibeleni, uluhlobo lomntu ohleli esenza into elungileyo.
Ngokubhekisele kumdlalo ngokwawo, andicingi ukuba nabani na owayedlala umdlalo rhoqo wayengavumelani nam ngokuthi utshintshe ubomi bethu, utshilo uMnu Curtis. Kwiiyure ezimbalwa, kanye, ngamanye amaxesha kabini ngeveki, phezulu kwindawo entle yehotele eneenkwenkwezi ezi-5, uthotho lwabadlali abaqhelekileyo (kodwa nantoni na ngaphandle kwesiqhelo) bashiye yonke into ebomini babo emnyango, kwaye banamava bambalwa kakhulu abantu ehlabathini abakhe babe nazo. Ndiya kuhlala ndinombulelo ngeli xesha ebomini bam, nangendima edlalwe nguMolly ekwenzeni ukuba yenzeke ngokuthe rhoqo.
