Daily 3-Bet: Shaniac Shower, Hellmuth Hero, WSOP $ Now

Got a tip for a future 3-Bet? Free free to drop a link in the comments and we'll take a look.

Today in the 3-Bet we find Team PokerStars Online pro Shane Schleger frustratingly rebuffed at the Canadian border, Phil Hellmuth itching to put on his poker tights and an early launch for real-money poker at WSOP.com.

1) Shaniac Showered at Canadian Border

For the love of god, it was 12 years ago.

 

Think it's frustrating to only be able to ply your profession outside of your own national borders?

Try being Team PokerStars Online pro Shane "shaniac" Schleger, who has a 12-year-old weed misdemeanor making things even more complicated with the fickle border guards who control his fate if he tries to play from Canada. 

Canadian Matt Salsberg chimed in with the needle to add some extra insult to injury.

We assume he's missing the WCOOP events he planned on playing but thankfully the border guards of Mexico, where he usually plays from, are not quite as picky and he should be back online shortly.

For more of Shaniac's thoughts on the situation, check out his blog post here.

2) Phil Hellmuth, Action Hero

Maybe Phil Hellmuth, if he can spare some time from self-aggrandizing, can put the tights on and carry Schleger across the Canadian border.

I feel like an Action Hero w no bad guys to take down! Can't wait for 3 days in Vegas next week, and October tourneys in London & Paris!
