Cowboy Poker
Lots of people enjoy a rousing game of poker; the high stakes, the luck of the draw, the skill required. However, some might be a little reluctant to play if there was a 1200lb bull breathing down your neck with the intention to ruin your friendly game. That is exactly what happens in Cowboy Poker. Loved by audience members of rodeo everywhere, this event involves 4 cowboys sitting at a poker table to play a hand, while a bull is released into the arena to spoil their fun. The object of the game is to be the last remaining player at the table. Luck plays a big role in winning this event, since once the bull gets relatively close, there’s not many a man who wouldn’t rush out of their chair as soon as possible. Though sometimes a cowboy might get hurt, serious injuries are not very common. This event brings laughs and excitement to rodeos every year and a large sum of prize money is rewarded to the bravest cowboy still holding his cards at the table.
