Niveau 14 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The floor was called and after a short conversation, which involved the floor apologizing to Foxen for the mistake on their part, the hand was ruled foul. Tang then returned to the table in order to play his big blind.

Retired NBA Star Paul Pierce Allegedly Won't Pay His Poker Debts

Niveau 14 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce owes a poker home game host $180,000, according to a lawsuit filed, but is allegedly refusing to pay it back.

Stephen Carmona, per TMZ Sports, claims he hosted a private game at his house on January 27 and invited the NBA Hall of Famer, who is an avid but recreational poker player. He apparently gave Pierce a $150,000 loan to enter the high-stakes game with the promise of paying it back within seven days.

The lawsuit states that the retired basketball star only returned $10,000 of that money and then borrowed another $40,000 from Carmona to compete in a different game, but allegedly hasn't paid back any of that either. Pierce reportedly made around $200 million in salary and endorsement deals during his 17-year NBA career.
