"2,000," replied Esfandiari. "Going up." He jerked his thumb towards the ceiling.
"2,100," his table mate replied.
"2,300."
"2,500."
We didn't hear the final number that they settled on, but it was in the high 2000s. They then turned to Neil Channing.
"So doctor?" Esfandiari inquired.
"28,000 dollars," said Channing as the table erupted in laughter. It seemed that Esfandiari and his opponent had bet $600 on how much Neil Channing thought that the player in the 2-seat would ask to be paid in order to shave the huge nest of hair he had on the top of his head.
Esfandiari won the bet. He's also up to 18,000 in chips.
