Brandi Hawbaker - Tom Franklin, scandal - poker gossip of the year

[Spry]

Brandi Hawbaker and Captain Tom Franklin...

Brandi claims that she gave Tom $12k of her bankroll (all of it) to hold and he will not give it back to her... she also claims he got into bed with her and put his penis on her back...

I do not make this up. Dutch Boyd is even involved.

So who the hell is Brandi Hawbaker?

[Spry]

don't know really... she has won a little in some tourneys and is on the WPT poker circuit...
She also posed for this picture for Full Tilt Poker.net... altho she says she wasn't paid one penny for it and now regrets it.

Nice tilt.

That shit is CRAZZZYYY...If this is true, Tom Franklin is a sick f#$k and needs to be banned from casinos. If this is not true, then Brandi needs to be sued for defamation of character...I did notice that she posted this around3:00A.M., which likely means she was under the influence of something at that point. Who knows, but this is pretty crazy.

[Spry]

speaking of crazy... Dutch Boyd is seriously Crazy... watch about 1 minute of this...



nothing to do with the brandi hawbaker story, but still... he is a wack job.

I can tell you now that girl is one hell of a nut job!!!!! How could she be THAT stupid!!! Even if everything she said is true...I have rocks in my backyard with more sense than her!!!!!!!!!

[Shafer]

I cannot stand that guy. Watching him beat Joe Hachem heads up just made me sick bc Hachem is so much better and so much more likeable than that jayhole.

Dutch Boyd does have bi-polar disorder , but he is also extremely smart ..... He already had a law degree by 18 ...

As RC said, Dutch Boyd does have some serious mental issues. I've seen/heard/read interviews both by him and others around him of his antics. As it pertains to the Brandi Hawbaker story, it seems a bit much. If it was true, then she chose a terrible method of telling her story. I don't know much of Captain Tom, but everything I've ever read or heard has been good. The whole story sounds like bullshit.

"We met and he said that "What are you doing talking to people about this? Why do you think I am a bad guy? If I were a really bad guy, I would have raped you that night when I had the chance!" I said all I want is my money back. He gave me $500, claiming that was all he had on him and told me that he would give me the rest later and that for now I should go play 2-5. I did."

I know that if I was in this situation, I'd do the exact same thing. I always play well when I'm thinking about the guy who stole all my money and nearly raped me.

"Funny thing... Tom decided to play 2-5 at another table. A few people were talking about how funny it was he was playing that and that he was obviously broke. I grew pissed. I wanted my money back right then and there. He started changing his story and saying instead that he did not owe me anything. We stopped talking."

If the $500 he gave her was all he had, how was he playing? Didn't she think of this? Anybody who poses for pictures exposing their breast, covering the nipple with an online poker room's logo obviously has a good head on her back, I mean shoulders.

"I was in tears the entire time I was in Foxwoods. I even tried to OD there and someone put their finger down my throat until I was able to throw everything up. I was miserable. Here I had trusted someone and was left stranded on the other side of the country with not even ten cents to my name."

Wow. If I tried to kill myself everytime someone stole twelve grand from me, then put their penis on my back, then lied about it to Doyle Brunson, and then played 2-5 no limit hold'em when they said they had no money, I would have been dead years ago.

wow, that thread has grown into something totally different.

It has gotten to the point of a new guy involved with her on the weekend of the 10th where she played online with his pokerstars account and managed to burn through $25k of his money...

This is a pokertracker screenshot of the 1200 hands she played over the course of an evening... Mark was downstairs playing high stakes table games and she was up in the hotel room, texting him that she was winning big... she busted his account and then changed the password on him because she wanted it to 'be a suprise' for him when he saw how much she won...



ouch...

they posted a bunch of hand histories that she played supposodly while he was there coaching her... omg hahahah how piss poor she played.

[joelarbear]

$25,000! Damn, I hope it was worth it for him.

[Spry]

i found a recap thread that lists the important information in that thread...

it has now grown to over 350+ pages... but that link gives the important pieces of the stories. Oh, the guy, newhizzle (the guys $$ she lost) is Mark Newhouse... not sure exactly who it is but he won a borgata event and seems to be a stand up guy).

That’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever read. Very entertaining.

Dutch and Brandi are both nuts. She sounds like the most annoying woman in the world.
