    Sounds like a story from the Onion. If it is true how is she going to feed him?

    They have been together for many years. This will also ensure that Kobayashi doesn’t have to worry about visa extension problems. Let’s all hope for their happiness together.

    I hear Seiken played his very last tournament at Borgata yesterday looking fatter than ever. He busted after level 10 in the winter open $230 buy in going all in with 15k but from what i was told it was on purpose . He was overheard complaining about the air conditioning being on and why people were forced to play poker in their winter jackets not to mention some of the seats stunk . US Male was not there . He announced that he will never ever set foot in that casino again

    I think you’re wrong. Divorce is not nearly as temporary with Asians as it is with Americans, who divorce nearly as often as they date.

    If anybody knows something about divorce, it is Archbishop Seiken. Excuse me, his ex picked up and left. He wouldn’t be a good candidate for relationship advice.

    He’s celibate because he’s a man of the cloth (a odorous, stained filthy cloth)

    It seems that any thread will do for Seiken to involved in it. For Kobayashi and Maggie, maybe they had to marry to save his visa status in the US. What do people think, overall, of his “progress” in competitive eating since he left MLE. Before the rift, MLE took care of his visa. On his own he got a special one, but it cannot be renewed beyond five years. So did he help his career by leaving MLE or not?

    Marriage of convenience. No sex involved

    he is devastated by this news as he was hoping kobayashi would be deported and Seiken would woo Maggie to be his wife. What do you think? Hmm?

    Seiken is involved in all threads Its the only way to keep his name alive in the world of comp eating. Some of you who were around back in the lean years of comp eating remember that he controlled the media once upon a time. Everyone flocked to his site for the latest info and flocked to his weekly podcast Beautifulbrian corner . Tell those young whippersnappers there were other avenues of comp eating coverage that were around before FBTS . And don’t you furget it !

    If a Seiken fell in the middle of the forest, would there be anyone around to hear the rumble of his large frame cause a seismic event?

    funny how you talk about Seiken being fat. Back in the early to mid 70’s he weighed 130 lbs resembling a crack head or an AIDS patient He was so skinny his mom actually had to take him to a doctor to find out why he wasnt putting on weight . Everyone puts on weight as they age . For the record you havent even seen him lately you wrinkled up hair wearer

    Getting married by using someone for their american citizenship is just as low as using a spouse good credit to buy a home when your credit rating is a zero

    Well why not. He uses her to make his contest results fraudulent to win. He wins all around now. From green card to career.
