By now I’m sure you’ve been exposed in some way to the “bong rip heard around the world.”

By that I mean the photo of Michael Phelps’ impersonation of Cheech and Chong. His sponsors have stood by him through all the publicity and recently, authorities have chosen not to press charges against him.

But his fellow partiers weren’t so lucky, as eight have been arrested in connection to the party. And to top it off, the owner of the infamous utensil that Phelps was using, was none other than professional poker player Zachary “Carter” King. The card shark was caught when he tried to sell the device on ebay for $100,000.

King, who has more than $2 million in poker winnings, I bet wishes he never placed that ad on ebay now.

Smart move King. Stick to cards.
