Kid DynOmite 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's so on. 50k hands at 200-400 plo min is probably gonna make 1.5mil look marginal. 10 Bi swings are not uncommon in such a game. http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/artic...poker-challenge Link to post Share on other sites

dt1313 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's gonna be very interesting to follow this. Although I think Ivey hit the nail on the head that someone between the first 3 (Durrr, PA and Benyamine) will lose a ton and the bet will end with a buy out. If it's Durr that will obviously jeopardize the rest of the potential opponents. Crazy if someone actually does go busto from this (Ivey being the least likely imo)Dan Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 lol egos.yeah, I don't think this is an ego thing with Durrrr... i imagine he believes he has an edge.. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 yeah, I don't think this is an ego thing with Durrrr... i imagine he believes he has an edge..And for Ivey it means action that might actually get his pulse moving up a bit. He's the classic action junkie who has to have enough money involved that it keeps him interested. Link to post Share on other sites
Fluffdog87 2 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Very interesting match.Ivey said durrr will play David B. or Patrick A. first most likely. Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteSpade 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 "If, at the end of the 50,000 hands, his opponent is up, Dwan will fork over an additional $1.5 million to pad his opponent's winnings. If Dwan is up, he keeps the profits, as well as another $500,000 from the competitor."Wow. I wonder how much more difficult it would be to find action without this. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 So if you get up say $20,000 with only 15K hands to go, you can sit out, auto fold etc and pick up a cool $1.5? Link to post Share on other sites

I_fold08 1 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 correct me if im wrong but didnt durr turn down PA during the series right after he was made a member of team full tilt when PA was challenging anyone to any game?and it is a 100 percent ego thing for durr Link to post Share on other sites

I think he prob has an edge agianst Ivey and DB, but PA came up from Multi tabling NL online..also, Durrr has an extremely low public profile, in turns of big money poker players... If he beats someone like Ivey or DB out of 4 million or osmething, it's going to give him quite a bit of exposure, that he could parley into who knows what kind of endorsement deals..

HubDub04 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I would NEVER bet against Ivey in anything, especially a bet of this magnitude.Also, Ivey has infinite more money than Dwan, Antonius, and Benyamine combined ($750,000/month he's earning from FTP) so he's got the mental advantage of knowing if he runs bad initially and loses 3-4 million, he's still OK whereas the others will have to buyout if they get that stuck.

Potomophobia 17 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Ya gotta love it when the heavyweights clash. And I'll certainly pay attention if it happens.That being said....... Dwan is the goofiest looking and acting MoFo I've ever seen. He'd better win a lot at poker. That creepy SOB ain't getting laid any other way. Link to post Share on other sites

The general consensus is that he's gay first off, second off, he's getting laid for sure by men or women. Link to post Share on other sites
