El ganador del North American Poker Tour (NAPT) “High Roller” del 2010, Ashton Griffin, ha ganado 300,00 $ por correr 70 millas (113 kilómetros) en menos de 24 horas.
Haseeb Qureshi, el Full Tilt Red Pro y “room-mate” de Griffin, le apostó que no pudo correr los 113 km en menos de 24 horas y sí no lo había conseguido, Griffin le iba a deber 900.000 $ a Qureshi. Pero sin entrenarse y después de una noche de fiesta y ya con la cruda correspondentem Griffin cumplió con los términos de la apuesta y ya lo está disfrutando. La apuesta se hizo tras una conversación entre Griffin y el jugador profesional Justin Smith durante la cual hablaban de los logros atléticos y de los corredores en particular. “Decidí en un número que sí podria correr y que la gente sí apostaría sobre él. Setenta millas parecía el número ideal.” Dijo Griffin, quien reveló que tomo siestas de una hora cada 15 millas.
