Hale's Dilemma
Firstly, we noted in his bio that he is a skydiver and a skydiving instructor by vocation. He has over 4,000 jumps under his belt. He tells us that during the course of his jumping career, he has had 15 malfunctions of his main chute, putting his life in the hands of the reserve chute. Luckily for him, he's never had a reserve chute malfunction.
"Nothing scares this guy," says emcee Tom Sexton. "He jumps out of planes for a living. Nothing scares this guy."
Well, except maybe his wife.
Hale is here in the Midwest on business, but he decided to play a few events before he leaves. He went deep in the Pot-limit Omaha event on Monday, and now he finds himself once again on the verge of a nice payday. He's a bit worried about how he's going to explain to his wife that he plays poker.
"She's six months along," he said, wide-eyed when the table asked him about his wife and the upcoming birth of his first child. "And this is the first doctor's appointment I've missed. You don't think the hormones are gonna be off the boot?" He and the rest of the table shared a chuckle.
Mrs. Hale, if you're following along, go easy on your husband. He's going to bring home some big time cash this week. How much, of course, still remains to be seen.
