When first told that Einhorn is a poker player, Pelfrey, an avid card player himself, said, “Tell him to come to the back of the plane—bring his wallet.”

Turns out Mike Pelfrey’s a pretty funny dude. Of course, next time he gets hit hard someone will find some way to spin this to explain why he’s crazy or something.
