Kelly Barsel not looking too healthy in the booking photo, though.

Jesus!....
She looked great in that other photo
Yeah, while I knew that other photo of hers was likely retouched (as she's a photographer), I was still surprised to see a woman like her involved with all of this, especially given her non-degenerate profession of children's photography.Quote:

Diano did bust in 22nd. DN busted him of all people.
down to 40k lost a bunch.
good news for you guys. He's likely not going to reg either tourney from today to start the $10k stud hi/low tomorrow.
Negreanu gone in 10th.
:bye
any math wizards want to chime in and set the line?
are we a 2-1 or better at this point or nah?
5-2 (+250) feels right to me at this point.Quote:

Maybe the 1500 PLO H/L on Tues June 24th
Thu June 26th - $10k limit
Sun June 29th - $1 mill one drop
Tue Jul 1 - $10k stud
Thu Jul 3 - $10k PLO
Still some sweats ahead with say 8 avoided and 8 to go. DN seems to be dialed in
Ya, if it wasn't for Choice Center I would have calc'ed it @ 3-1 (+300). As a counterweight, Ivey seems to be having more trouble than expected this year.Quote:

From the results we've seen thus far, it seems clear that DN is playing well and Ivey is either running horrible or playing poorly (or both).
I don't think we are anywhere near -250 to win at this point, though.
There are still plenty of small-field events coming up, most notably the 40-or-so field One Drop. The one thing I'll say for the One Drop is that Ivey & Negreanu are better limit players than NLH players, but it's not like they're NLH fish, either. Ivey final tabled the Main a few years ago, if you remember.
Without doing any math, I estimate we are about -200 to win right now.
Given how badly his results are and how little seems to care, it makes me wonder. Do you think that Daniel has the liquidity to cover the losses if Ivey flakes on the bet?Quote:

I have determined that there isn't, mainly because of DN's sponsorship by Pokerstars.
DN is the "face" of this bet, while Ivey seems to be quietly bankrolling most of it.
If they didn't pay people at least semi-promptly, it would cause a huge scandal that would make both of them (especially Daniel) look terrible. This, in turn, would make Pokerstars look bad. I think that Pokerstars would probably front the money to DN if this happened, and just take it off of his future compensation.
I also don't think they would have had the "open bet up to a million" offer if they didn't know they could cover it. While Ivey is down a good deal at the WSOP thus far, the amount bet on the bracelet thing dwarfs that figure.

You mean this enchilada isn't escrowed? fml
They were actually demanding a 1-side escrow if DN didn't know/trust you, but that got waived in our case.
Ivey's share is escrowed in the craps pit at Macau.Quote:

What is the em2 bet? Different than ours?
My bad, back on page 8 EM2 was talking about getting much better odds and KRRP (I think) said he was getting 2-1 on Ivey only.
