so andy beal invited them to come play him again but higher stakes this time $100m on the line guess what , the corporation no show , wonder why ?
maybe he was not the sucker the had him down as . OBV
from what i read ivey won $$$ from him also jennifer harman too , but thats it .
I think a lot of it has to do with people (******s) hugely overestimating the net worth of a lot of the big name pros.
"ZOMG THEY BACKED DOWN WHEN HE WANTED TO PLAY FOR $100,000,000 HAHAHAHA COWARDS!!!"
Do these people even realize how much money that is?
It's pretty much universally accepted that Andy Beal has enough money to make the entire high stakes community say uncle... This doesn't mean he's their equal as far as skill, but it does mean that he has an absurd sum of money, is willing to gamble with it and very few professional players are willing to risk their entire net worth for what amounts to a tiny sample size where skill isn't as much of a factor.
