The gutsy gambler, who has won close to half a million dollars (AUD) on the tables of the iconic gaming city, is midway through his creepiest wager yet.
He currently sits inside a bathroom in an unknown apartment with just a bed and a bathtub at his disposal for 30 days.
The creepy stunt is part of a bet devised by Aussie Rory Young, a friend and fellow poker player of Alati’s. The players put up $ 100,000 (A$ 138,000) in what’s known on the scene as a “prop bet”, which is a wager designed to test the mental toughness of players away from the table.
“The conditions are complete darkness, so no electronics, no light-emitting devices, no drugs of any kind,” Young said. “He is allowed any type of food that he wants. He has a bed in there, he has a shower and a bathtub. He has pretty lavish toiletries like Epsom salts, sugar scrubs, that kind of stuff.”
But there’s more to the madness.
In order to further warp the mind of Alati over his month-long stint, Young has made sure he gets his food delivered on an irregular schedule to make it harder for him to figure out how much time has passed.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Young allowed Alati access to any food he wanted over the course of the month.
His family and friends have been given a livestream where they can check in on him, but no communication with the outside world is permitted. Young revealed Alati’s family were strongly against the challenge with his sister the most vocal.
“They tried to get him to not do it but he doesn’t listen to anybody but himself,” Young told Deadspin. “She tried very hard to get him to pull out and he wasn’t having it. She’s pretty worried.”
Alati’s father express similar concerns but remained supportive of his son pursuing the wacky endeavour.
“I’m definitely concerned,” he said. “But I chose to focus on the positive, wishing for a successful completion of the wager.
“I gave him a chance to talk me through it and hear him out … He’s in a profession where they do things that other people wouldn’t do.”
Alati has roughly two weeks left in his dark cave before he can emerge victorious. Game on.
It’s not the first time poker players have proved their worth in extravagant challenges either.
Instagram playboy Dan Blizerian once won a $ 600,000 bet cycling from Vegas to Los Angeles in under 48 hours. Hedge fund manager and fellow Bill Perkins bet against the 38-year-old and got a rude surprise when Blizerian, dubbed the “biggest jerk of Instagram” entered LA with 15 hours to spare.
The ride, which was estimated to have spanned over 500km, gathered international attention in 2016 with former Tour de France victory Lance Armstrong reaching out to help Blizerian’s effort.

Vivian Nwakah was told she wouldn’t survive in Nigeria, and she started to believe it. While her glistening dark skin makes her look just like most others in the capital city of Lagos, her American accent means she’s not like everyone else; and all of her friends who arrived around the same time as she did have since moved back to the U.S.
Nwakah’s mission, and the reason she stays, became clear shortly after her arrival in Lagos. Before she had gotten her driver’s license, Nwakah relied on a friend to drive her around. One day, after being diagnosed with malaria, that friend died — not from the disease, but from the fake malaria medication he was taking. In 2017, Nwakah launched Medsaf to help tackle the counterfeit medicines that run rampant in Nigeria.
About 17 percent of Nigeria’s generic drug supply was fake in 2015, down from 40 percent in 2001, according to government data. Improved technology has helped. Yet roughly 116,000 deaths per year in sub-Sarahan Africa are linked to counterfeit or substandard anti-malaria drugs alone, according to the World Health Organization.
We aren’t out to make profits — that’s easy. We are interested in making quality drugs the only drugs in Lagos.
Temitope Awosika, co-founder, Medsaf
Medsaf started as a vitamin company, but it has become a curated platform that connects pharmacies and hospitals with safe, cost-effective medications. When I meet Nwakah, 35, in her office on Lagos’ booming Victoria Island, she and Medsaf co-founder Temitope Awosika are bent over a laptop discussing numbers and new distribution targets as they plot a regional expansion. Because Nigeria accounts for more than 60 percent of the drug supply in West Africa, the counterfeit drug problem extends far beyond its borders.
Nwakah grew up in the Chicago area. Her father left Nigeria in the early 1970s, after the civil war, with several friends, all determined to study in the United States and become lawyers, doctors and bankers — to live out the American Dream with their families. Nwakah’s father became a banker and provided a comfortable life for his daughter. Both her parents have a complicated relationship with their homeland. “While my family is proud of the work I’m doing, they sometimes still think I won’t last in Nigeria,” she says.
Nwakah followed the highly educated path established by her father and started traveling abroad while enrolled in an international MBA program at Georgia State University. She studied in Rio de Janeiro and Paris before moving to Lagos to intern at a cable television company, where she made little more than $ 50 a month. Since then, she has moved across industries, with her most recent stint as a vice president for a Lagos-based clean energy company looking to help resolve the issue of Nigeria’s erratic power supply for local corporations.
The death of Nwakah’s friend inspired her to team up with Awosika, a pharmacist by training whom she met via mutual friends, to start Vitamins.ng. But as they surveyed manufacturers, hospitals, pharmacies and drug consumers, their focus turned to medicines. Trying to create a different kind of culture proved difficult, as sales reps typically “go outside under the scorching sun to sell and meet a quota,” Nwakah says, instead of the relationship-focused approach that she and Awosika favor. Medsaf’s staff has grown to 10 people in Lagos, mostly scientists and pharmacists, and there is another smaller team in Portugal to manage the website.
While Nwakah doesn’t feel embraced in Nigeria, her stubbornness and refusal to be fake are what make her perfect to run a business in the country, according to her co-founder. “From the very beginning, Vivian had a clear idea of how we needed to run, and that vision has helped us make better decisions, including the hard decisions,” Awosika says. “We are currently on course to [meet] all of our targets. We aren’t out to make profits — that’s easy. We are interested in making quality drugs the only drugs in Lagos.”
Since its launch, Medsaf has partnered with more than 500 pharmacies and close to 100 hospitals to sell medication around the country, processing 150 million doses of drugs. Funded primarily out of pocket, the startup is generating between $ 15,000 and $ 20,000 per month. But the bureaucratic hurdles to clear in getting these drugs to consumers are daunting. “Most of the drugs needed in Nigeria are either not available or not composed properly, and getting them manufactured and then registered in Nigeria tends to be a serious problem,” Nwakah says.
While the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria gave a “good faith” registration and induction to the startup, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) — which is well-attuned to the fake drugs crisis — can be more demanding. Nwakah says Medsaf must cover travel expenses for NAFDAC officials to inspect the startup’s drug manufacturers, most of which are outside Nigeria.
Medsaf is a valuable validator for medicines, but the biggest problem for the startup is one it cannot solve: poverty. Nigeria recently overtook India as the world’s poverty capital — with 87 million people living in extreme poverty. Though it is falling, inflation remains above 11 percent, further sapping purchasing power. “Nobody sets out to buy fake drugs, but with so many unregulated versions in shops and kiosks without licenses that are cheaper, the average poor Nigerian will take it,” says Zubair Abdulahi, a doctor who has worked in the biggest teaching hospital in Lagos. “Nigeria in recent years has turned into a dumping ground for lesser-quality variants from other countries. And without a government clampdown, Medsaf’s efforts, while noble, will not quite do anything constructive.”
Nwakah is more focused on finding a new and better way to distribute safe, effective medicines in Nigeria, and hopes to raise $ 5 million in capital and expand to 4,000 medical facilities. She won’t solve her adopted country’s ills herself, but if one malaria sufferer can get lifesaving instead of life-ending medicine, it’s worth it.

Printed by Trier Tourism and Marketing in honor of Marx’s 200th birthday, the original 5,000 ‘zero euro’ notes sold out in less than a month. In the weeks that followed, collectors and tourists alike have pounced on the souvenir bills, with over 100,000 purchases of the commemorative banknote –which sells for three euros– to date. Marx was born in Trier, a city in southwest Germany, on May 5th, 1818.
The faux bill – which features a portrait of Karl Marx – is slightly larger than a 20 euro note, and is made of the same security paper used by the European Union currency.
“The note is a sales champion,” Hans-Albert Becker, a representative from Trier Tourism and Marketing, told Germany news agency DPA. He added that the souvenirs have been shipped to more than 40 countries, from Australia to South America, but have seen particular success in Asia. Around 30,000 units have gone to China – likely due to the fact that the capitalist-critical philosopher is revered by the country’s ruling Communist Party.
The highly-coveted bill has “all the characteristics of a traditional banknote, including a watermark, holographic protection, tactile marks, effect visible under UV-light, etc.,” French entrepreneur Richard Faille, who originally conceived of the ‘zero euro’ souvenir concept in 2015, told Sputnik France.
Despite the banknote’s popularity, there’s still plenty in stock – although there’s a five-bill minimum if ordered online.

Fiona Bruce and the Antiques Roadshow team continued to scour the country in pursuit of hidden treasures, returning to Cardiff Castle in the Welsh capital.
In the Victorian gothic setting, presenter Fiona met with Chris, a representative from the Royal Mint to deliver the news they are on the search for a rare 1933 penny that could be worth up to £100,000.
Fiona said: “Take a close look at this old one penny piece. 1933.
“Now Chris, you’ve come from the Royal Mint which is just around the corner here. Tell us why 1933 is so important.”
Chris explained: “Well, extremely rare because we know of six for certain that were made.”
Fiona gasped: “Just six?”
Chris continued: “There are references to maybe a few more, we can’t say for certain.
“But we definitely know of six that were made in that year.”
Revealing what happened to the six coins, Chris revealed they were “struck for special presentation purposes”.
Three went to national collections and three went underneath foundation stones of buildings.
Chris then revealed: “We know where five are now but the one that we don’t know about was set underneath the foundation stone of a building which was then later stolen in 1970.
“Dressed as workmen, they pretended they were doing some work and over a weekend, they removed it.”
Fiona smiled: “Well, obviously we don’t want to say that crime pays, but having spoken to our miscellaneous expert John Foster, a penny from 1933 is now worth between £80 and £100,000.”
Chris said: “That’s the magic of this coin. You know, everyone’s got these at home.
“Potentially, you never know, somewhere out there, there might be a 33 penny.”
Fiona then told how a collector previously brought what they believed to be a 1933 penny to the Antiques Roadshow, but it turned out to be bogus.
The presenter turned to the camera to directly speak with viewers, saying: “So now you can see why I said watch closely at the beginning.
“If you have a genuine 1933 penny at home, good for you! Bring it in, because we’d love to see it!”
Antiques Roadshow continues next Sunday on BBC One at 8pm.
Five academics from universities across the country are being awarded the prestigious Killam Prize, which honours researchers, scientists, doctors and scholars whose body of work has bettered the lives of people in Canada and beyond.

Supercars: Jamie Whincup crashed heavily right at the end of Qualifying for Race 1 at the Adelaide 500.
27/02/18 South Australian Supercars rookie Todd Hazelwood unveils the New Adelaide 500 Trophy in pit straight. picture CALUM ROBERTSON
HIS teammate has snared provisional pole but defending Supercars champion Jamie Whincup faces a nervous wait to get on the grid for today’s season opener in Adelaide.
The Red Bull Holden Racing Team star wrecked his Commodore late in Friday’s qualifying session at the 3.22km street circuit, the impact sending one of his tyres bouncing down the track.
While Whincup was unhurt in the crash and still managed to qualify for Saturday’s top-10 shootout for pole position, the damage to his car might end his weekend prematurely.
“The car’s pretty bad, real bad,” Whincup told AAP.
“The worst I’ve seen for a long time … the priority now is just trying to get out tomorrow.
“We’ve got time but if the chassis’s bent, we’re all over.”

Ask a collector of any discipline about the vagaries of market valuation, and that person is likely to tell you that the truly unexpected windfalls are the product of oddball passion, not cagey speculation. Take, for instance, the now legendary 1958 Gibson korina-wood Flying V guitar. It was considered a failure at the time due to its space-age appearance, but models that once sold at a discount or languished in music-store back rooms have appreciated in value over the past five decades, to the point where one example traded recently for more than $ 1 million. It’s that same type of slow-burn nostalgia that often drives the collector-car market, elevating the value of once commonplace models such as this 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 to astonishing levels.

Gooding & Company’s pre-auction estimate of $ 60,000 to $ 80,000—about 10 times the car’s original MSRP—may seem aggressive for a vehicle that was widely available for around $ 5000 just a decade or so ago, but the pedigree and condition of this particular 914 2.0 are unassailable. After remaining with the original owner for more than 30 years, the car was purchased by the Brumos Collection in 2003. Although the legendary Brumos Porsche dealership was sold in 2015, this car’s association with Brumos is a distinction cherished by Porschephiles.

Remarkably, the car has accrued less than 5000 miles since new, making it among the lowest-mileage private-owner examples—if not the lowest—on the continent and possibly in the world, barring any cars still in the hands of a dealer or the manufacturer(s). Speaking of which, part of the 914’s quirky charisma is its mixed-breed heritage: Porsche needed an entry-level vehicle, and Volkswagen needed a replacement for the Karmann Ghia, so the pair entered into an agreement for Porsche to design and develop a vehicle that would use a VW Type 4 engine. That car would be sold as a Volkswagen but with the door open for Porsche to sell a version with an engine of its own specification. Ultimately the deal ended up going sour for various reasons, including the cost of the Karmann-built bodies. In the end, the car was sold as a Volkswagen-Porsche in Europe and a Porsche in the United States. It was introduced in 1969, and more than 115,000 914/4s were built by the time production ended in 1976.

Entering the country via the once thriving Volkswagen-Porsche port of entry in Toledo, Ohio, this 914 was delivered to Camp’s Cars in Midland, Michigan. Included in the sale of this Zambezi Green example is the original window sticker, which indicates an MSRP of $ 7135. Options include chrome bumpers ($ 145); front and rear anti-roll bars ($ 145); tinted glass ($ 115); 15-inch forged-alloy wheels ($ 360); and an appearance group ($ 300) with fog lamps, a leatherette-covered steering wheel, a dual-tone horn, and a console with a clock, a voltmeter, and an oil-temp gauge. It’s powered by a 95-hp mid-mounted 2.0-liter fuel-injected boxer engine mated to a five-speed manual transaxle; this configuration is considered the most desirable of the four-cylinder 914 variants.
–
–
While previous 914s offered at auction have struggled to break the $ 15,000 mark, a 1972 914/6—the higher-performance, six-cylinder variant—brought $ 70,000 in April 2016 at an Auctions America event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The ramifications of a pedestrian 914 2.0 bringing a higher price than its far less common six-cylinder sibling would be significant. Although this car is a true unicorn, its sale will likely have a trickle-down effect on the entire 914 market.

–
Of course, Gooding & Company’s estimate is just that. The actual sale price could exceed the projections, driving the value of lesser 914s upward with it. It’s also possible that, as it’s offered without reserve, this pristine example could fail to excite bidders and sell for far below the estimate. It’s this risk, after all, that makes an auction such an exciting and timely arbiter of the collector-car market. The Porsche 914 2.0 is scheduled to cross the block on March 9 at Amelia Island, Florida. We’ll be watching.
