Kobe vs. The Magician

Kobe Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, were at Friday night's grand opening of BLUSH Boutique Nightclub at the Wynn in Las Vegas, when he saw poker player Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari buy two bottles of $1,400 Cristal champagne. According to sources inside the club, Kobe wasn't about to be shown up by some puny little card player -- and kicked in for five bottles. Antonio, who's used to upping the ante, then switched his order to ten! Go big or go home!

Kobe ended the competition when he purchased an astounding 15 bottles -- and then left the club!

Esfandiari himself offers a different version.

If Esfandiari's version is accurate...that sounds pretty awesome. Ridiculous...but awesome.

If Antonio's version is accurate his friend Manny sounds like TallSkott.
