2 Months, $2 Million: Team Loses $84,200

This week on the G4 online poker reality show “2 Months, $2 Million,” the team suffered a major setback, losing $84,200 collectively. However, the quartet defeated a rival group in football, nightlife, and online poker challenges.

The third of 10 episodes of “2 Months, $2 Million” hit television airwaves on Sunday at 9:00pm ET on G4. The installment began with Dani Stern playing basketball outside of the Las Vegas home with Aaron “aejones” Jones. The two have been friends after meeting at a poker tournament and the one-on-one basketball game spurred the idea of a house versus house competition. The rival faction featured Jones, Andrew “luckychewy” Lichtenberger, Daniel “Starkey” Starkey, and Steve “Zugwat” Silverman. On the latter player, Stern noted that he is a “feared online poker player.”

In the football competition, the first squad to amass seven touchdowns would be declared the winner. A Stern interception return for a touchdown tied the game at three scores each. Then, Stern found the end zone again on the defensive side of the ball, running in a fumble recovery for another touchdown to put the “2 Months, $2 Million” team ahead 6-4. In the end, a Stern caught a pass in the end zone, which was enough to win 7-4.

By Day 1 of Week 3, the team was down $34,700 on their quest for $2 million. Silverman sought retribution for the gridiron loss by taking on “2 Months, $2 Million” cast member Jay Rosenkrantz heads-up online. Rosenkrantz dropped $17,000 in a pot and found himself down $40,000 for the week. Meanwhile, it was revealed that the crew had gone out six straight nights and faced a seventh with the nightlife portion of the house war set to take place. Rosenkrantz remarked, “Maybe the house war is becoming a bit of a distraction and we’re not playing real poker.”

Stern and Emil Patel participated in the nightlife challenge, which took place at Ghostbar at the Palms. The three tasks to determine the winning house included getting a girl to buy you a drink, getting a girl to do five pushups, and getting a girl to remove her panties. The score was tied 2-2 when Lichtenberger convinced Ghostbar customer “Jenny” to take off her underwear, which he promptly put on his head in celebration as the “aejones house” took down the nightlife challenge.

Online, Rosenkrantz’s struggles online continued. He was down $64,000 on the week and fledgling in Omaha against “ROCK_ET_MAN.” Rosenkrantz frustratingly got up from the table and lamented, “I’m not going to be able to save my week and now all I want to do is just crush aejones, luckychewy, Zugwat, and Starkey.”

The poker challenge served as the rubber match in the series and featured best of three heads-up sit and gos. Silverman outlasted Rosenkrantz 2-1 in the first match-up, continuing his domination of the “2 Months, $2 Million” star on the virtual felts. The second match-up saw Roberts and Lichtenberger compete. When the battle was over, Jones’ house was up 4-2. Jones bested Stern in the first game of their series before Stern won the next two to make the overall score 5-4, with Jones’ house still in the lead. Patel and Starkey then waged war, with the former battling back to tie the poker challenge at six matches apiece and force a tiebreaker.

In the tiebreaker, whose match-up was determined by pulling names out of a hat, Roberts defeated Jones in the first two games to secure the victory for the “2 Months, $2 Million” cast. In the final hand, Roberts’ A-8 outdrew Jones’ pocket nines when an ace hit the flop. Jones and company were forced to clean the “2 Months, $2 Million” house as a result of the loss.

The four protagonists suffered their worst week to date. When the smoke cleared, Roberts was down $4,000, Stern was down $33,000, and Rosenkrantz was down a blistering $80,000. Patel was the lone member of the group in the black, earning $32,800 for the week. Overall, the team was down $84,200 during Week 3 for an overall total of $114,400 in earnings. Roberts noted, “We can’t string together a bunch of winning sessions and get comfortably into the black for the summer.” As a result of Rosenkrantz’s abnormally large loss, he was not assessed a “Penalty Stunt.”

“2 Months, $2 Million” airs weekly on Sunday nights at 9:00pm ET on G4.
