if grocery's chip counts were correct, gavin should be able to just go back to his hotel room and troll through online personal ads for two hours and still win the damn thing.and no, he doesn't need to spend any time with his digital camera because his "portfolio" has already been compiled.

just came back from railing peter for about 14 hours...all I can say is wow...the HU match was the most disgusting thing Ive ever seen, it was an f'ing bloodbath. First gavin had a decent lead, he raises nordberg reraises from the bb, gavin re-raises and nord instantly moves all in..gavin calls with 44 and doubles him up.The HU match lasted about 5 hrs and they played more hands HU than during the whole final table. Nord had gavin at like 250k with a 1.4 mil stack, gavin chipped up and then shoved A4s Peter called with AQ and Gavin hit a 4..it was sick. They had a break aftter that hand and it was incredible how well Peter handled it, he was calm as could be and realized that he was really giving Gavin a hard time. Peter kept playing his game but got a little short on chips, he shoved 66 vs kk and hit quads. Finally he made a good call with AJ pf vs QK and it held. It was sick to watch this whole thing develope, I think there was only four people in the room really rooting for Nordberg (Me, Samenole, and Nordberg's parents), and it was really cool to see him pull through and win the 500k.On another note, Gavin was a riot, he is an amazing player. I thought everyone exagerrated when they talked about how loose he was, but WOW, his level of play is just sick. He dominated the table from 10 handed to 3 handed, and no one could stop him. He seems like an awesome dude and might have been pretty wasted by the end of the HU match..lol.. Anyway, it was a great experience to watch this whole thing, It got me extremely fired up to win something this year. P.S. The espn broadcast is gonna be entertaining, Im sure. I'm just kinda embarrassed that im gonna be "that dude" that yells "DUUUUEEEECE!!". :Dbtw dont know if anyone read this or if it was even reported, but allie prescott (sp?) had a side bet with Gavin, if Allie won gavin would pay him 1 mil over the next ten years, if Gavin won Allie would pay him 700k over the next 10 years. In the 66 vs kk hand, Allie was sweating hard, but he got saved by nordberg at the end of it all. I'm sure all of that will be hyped up in Espn broadcast for sure.

500k...Samenole had 4% of him...lol that's like winning a decent sized online tourney.

Feel sorry for Ivey pushing all in with AK on a K high board vs Gavin's KK. Supposedly Gavin's so loose people never put him on a real hand. If you listen to the circuit Gavin really is awesome.

I dont think that is what the bet was. From my understanding it was 1 million payed out over 10 years or 700k payed out over 10 years. These guys dont have that much mobney.
