Jose Canseco’s finger fell off during a poker tournament
Last saturday, as a macabre story, on Twitter former baseball professional, Jose Canesco has finally announced to followers about his left middle-finger who fallen off while he was playing in a poker tournament. “I was playing in a poker tournament last night and my finger fell off”, said the former major league slugger. Giving a definitive proof to all he also added “someone took a video of it”. Just an attempt to make more credible his post after the blows of strange things he wrote out on the well known social network.
His previous twits were not encouraging at all but at least sounded hilarious, something like: “I put my finger in the freezer anyone want finger appetizers”. To switch very serious some hours later: “my finger should have been amputated from the beginning. It was very loose with no bone to connect it. It was also smelling really bad”. Jose Canesco shot accidentally his finger off while cleaning his gun, nearby was his model fiance Laila Knight. Accident which happened in Las Vegas on last October. The emergency surgery was not really successful and doctors said he will never get back full use if his hand. Something even worst happened but Canseco still look at it as a life lesson: “I am just glad nothing happened to her. if it’s a lesson having to lose a finger, so be it.”

Phil Ivey ready to deal Medical Marijuana
Phil Ivey is going to the weed business. His name appears between 26 candidates which have successfully applied for a city pot permit to be given by the Las Vegas city council, as the Las Vegas review-Journal recently stated. Phil Ivey is now searching consensus from the state health department in order to be approved as a medical marijuana business operator. Phil Ivey has also been on the spotlights for a dispute against the Crockford’s Casino which denied him a 12.4 million dollars win, apparently for cheating. Ivey has appealed at the High Court in London, where the dispute is rolling, to get back is money. Should be it enough for well investing on the new legalized marijuana Nevada market.
