    What the heck?!

    World Poker Tour dips as bid evaporates — Poker champ Doyle Brunson’s $700 million offer expired late Tuesday, leaving investors frustrated.

    The company said it had tried repeatedly to get information about the offer, but Brunson declined to give more details. The spokeswoman said she did not know whether Brunson had failed to secure financial backers or why he made the bid.

    But analysts questioned the credibility of the offer, which triggered a 50 percent surge in California-based WPT’s Friday share price on Nasdaq to a new closing high of $26.50.

    Seems like it would have been smarter to try to wrangle his way onto the board of directors or something.

    I do love the way it sounds like Dolly just came up one day and said, “Hey, I think I’ll buy WPT for double its worth.”

      If Dolly became owner of the company, I bet they’d show more Shana Hiatt. Them Texas boys love’em some healthy ass.

      BTW, the streak continues. I check, there’s a new post. If I check more often, will that mean you will write more often?
