We at Eyebrows can’t help but think that the winner of Saturday’s Bodensee Poker Championship, Michael Keiner, made the right decision to quit medicine and become a professional card player.
He is just a little too comfortable taking risks and we’re not sure that is a desirable character trait for a plastic surgeon.
Creativity and inventiveness have their place but arguably not in the head of a mask-wearing man wielding a scalpel who is about to restructure someone’s face.
It’s just not cricket.
Before he became a pro, Michael was a hugely successful trader on the stock market but, one day along swam a black swan (complicated economic metaphor for ‘shit happens’) and it pecked away millions from his portfolio.
Not a man to let such trifles keep him down, it wasn’t too much longer before he became a pro and now has five WSOP cashes, including one bracelet.
His triumph over eighty-three opponents in the €1,500 NL tournament at Casino Bregenz netted him €35,910 and he did it without spilling any blood.
It takes certain people a while to find themselves but we feel it is generally better that wanderers on the road less travelled do not have daily access to anaesthetised bodies.
