The current record for poker endurance is about 75 hours, and poker pro Phil Laak plans on beating that number. He will make the attempt at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Laak’s plans are for 80 hours of straight poker play. The current Guinness Book of World Records holder is Paul Zimbler, who played about 200 different people in heads up matches. Zimbler played quite a few pros like Mike Matusow, who encouraged him to stay awake and keep playing. Laak will be donating half of what he wins to charity, hoping to raise money while making the attempt at breaking the world record.
