So Phil has been coming in all week and they have been chatting it up each time he comes in, talking sports, clubs etc while my friend is "facilitating" Phils fun. So my friend is talking to Phil and they got onto the subject of poker (my friend plays poker, not super serial but enjoys playing regularly, live & online). My friend then brings up the situation of FTP and how messed up that was, he said he could tell Phil didn't really want to discuss it but Phil asked him how much he had tied up on Full Tilt. My friend told him he only had £2.5K but knew people who had alot more (me) on there. PI then tries to give him £50...Phil and my friend had been talking it up most of the week so my Friend jokingly turned around and said "lol you will have to do alot better than that" and walked off to continue "facilitating fun" for the others in the club.

20mins later PI come up to my friend with a bottle of vodka (worth around £500) and £250 in cash and said "Turn the £250 into £2.5K" and patted him on the shoulder and left!

Me: That's actually probably one of the best things you can do.
Phil: whut?
Me: I said, that's probably one of the best things you can do.

Yes he made statement when he jumped ship from Full Tilt.
