Prior to the events of UFC 279, Joe Rogan displayed his skills with a cue stick. The famed color commentator went ahead and taught the audience some of the tips and tricks of the game. His vast knowledge has always made his followers look up to and appreciate him.

The UFC commentator’s podcast show, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, is in fact a platform for him to talk about various topics. One such matter was pool, when he invited a professional player, Fedor Gorst, to the podcast. However, some news can make even Rogan gasp in shock.

Recently, the famed commentator and Gorst talked about pool and gambling linked to the sport. However, the massive cash in bets and winnings took the podcaster to a world of shock.

Joe Rogan amazed at the amount of winnings Fedor Gorst got in one day

During their talks, Rogan playfully asked Gorst about the time he spent playing pool. The player replied that it actually depended on his tournament schedule. Furthermore, he said, “I’m not an action player that play all day, every day.”

The 55-year-old podcaster was quick to notice what the pool player meant by ‘action player’. He confirmed if that meant gambling, and Gorst had nothing to do but admit.

However, he considered himself to be a ‘tournament professional player’. Nonetheless, he revealed that he played some matches with massive bets. This intrigued Rogan. He asked about the biggest bet that Gorst ever played.
