As far as we know none of the bracelet winners have taken Jared Bleznick up on his offer to play them heads up in any game and give 10% back, but today we learned of a new HU4Rollz challenge being issued. Matt Marafioti, according to his twitter, seems pretty intent on playing Yev Timoshenko in a No-Limit battle to the death.
Marafioti, who busted the Main Event yesterday, has been on a tirade on twitter since, railing against anyone and everyone, Timoshenko included. He even had some malicious tweets directed at PokerNews for their inclusion of his polka dot shorts near the start of July!
Marafioti and Timoshenko have their own disagreements outside poker, but this is all about ego massaging. Both players have been back and forth on twitter, with Timoshenko initially trying to get a % of his losses back, before seemingly agreeing to play tomorrow based on this tweet by Justin ‘stealthmunk’ Schwartz.
The game and stakes is unknown as of yet, with Timoshenko wanting to play a mix of No-Limit Hold'em and PLO and Marafioti wanting to stick to NLHE. Stakes of $200/400$ where stacks would likely be at least $40,0000 deep have been suggested by Timoshenko. It seems clear that both players don't want to sell action, as to do so would be seen as cowardly. Once again the high stakes poker world is a playground.
