What is the consensus on how much Antonio (and other tourney pros) had on himself?

I think its pretty unlikely he had around 40% plus of himself, the evidence youve given doesnt really prove anything. Of that receipt someone could easily have bought pieces already. Hes keeping the amount a secret, we are all just guessing but I really dont believe he had the roll to buy in for $400,000-$600,000 of himself, very very few poker pros do.

doesn't really prove anything? so a bunch of people wired 460,000 dollars to his bank account in less than 48 hours and he played with it.

antonio is deep just read the action he does on 2p2 for 5 minutes. it doesn't surprise me at all if he had over 50%.

:this

They lie about a hand that they know will be on TV after they get knocked out for no reason whatsoever. Spur of the moment could mean:
Dan Bilzerian: "are you playing One Drop?"
Antonio: "haven't thought about it"
Bilzerian: "If you do I'll buy 1/2 your action."
Antonio: to himself ***jeez, Phil and Jen said they'd back me $200k at 1.2 I'll toss in a little of my own money and just sell the rest on Twitter at even money***
Antonio: "actually, yeah, I am playing, will you do at 1.2?"

Now it's a spur of the moment decision.

He could be saying he had that much just to avoid tax issues for one of the backers, there are so many reasons he could be saying that publicly. Again, I don't know what the truth is, but I find it hard to believe Antonio is ponying-up $500k to try to bink a tournament that is so top-heavy in payouts that it's a virtual crapshoot. Let's not forget the Tilly-effect either, she has enough loot to throw a big chunk at Antonio and with Laak formulating the EV in his savant head he could have gotten a 1.2 markup

You don't have to wire anything, he's in Vegas, there is no shortage of cash or chips there. The bank wire could have been from just a single person so 40% with a $60k markup.

>implying he didn't sell at face value

I have no idea at all, but as I was watching it, just judging from his body language, demeanor, etc. , I thought he hit it pretty big, like $4 - $5 million. He seemed way more affected than his previous $2 million score. Total guess, but somewhere in the 20-30% range feels right.
