Darius Plays High Stakes Poker

| September 2, 2012

Imagine sitting at a poker game with country legends Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson.  That’s what happened to Darius Rucker a few years ago.  He told the story to Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton: “I was in Hawaii, and I’m visiting, I’m playing poker with Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. and another friend.  The pot is kinda big, and we get to Kris and Kris has his glasses on, and he’s thinking, and Willie goes, ‘Kris, Help Me Make It Through The Night made it in the last 24 hours.  Are you gonna play or not?’  It was one of those moments when I looked at Woody and said, ‘I’m never gonna forget this!’  I don’t think I’ve ever told that story on the radio before, you sound like you’re name dropping, but when you’re playing poker with those people, so you gotta tell that story!”
