Riley, coming off a big score at the Borgata Fall Poker Open made the near costly and possibly fatal mistake of doing this two times in the same day according to a New York Post article that is almost too hard to believe (it’s not passing my smell test at the moment), and reads more like a bad screenplay than actual events.
