NWP is best known for uncensored poker gossip, so we would be remiss if we failed to link you to these sensational claims by Brandi Hawbaker about poker veteran "Captain" Tom Franklin. According to Brandi, what started out as a simple mentor/student relationship turned ugly, with Franklin supposedly stealing her entire 12k bankroll, putting his penis on her back as she slept in a hotel room, and demanding "huggles" in exchange for his future support. The story also includes an odd section about Doyle Brunson, who supposedly gave Brandi $2000 as a result of this debacle. Originally posted by Brandi herself on 2+2, the story has been met by a combination of sympathy and intense skepticism.

Who is guilty here? Did Brandi set out to use Captain Tom, only to bitterly smear his good name when she didn't get what she wanted? Did Captain Tom take advantage of a naive young girl, holding her bankroll over her head for sexual favors? Is it a combination of both? Read the story and judge for yourself! Is this the face of the victim of a sexual predator?

How did I miss this gossip!?
