Andy Beal back in town?

I was playing at Aria and took the tram to Bellagio for a change in scenery. Shortly after I started playing at like 11:30pm, Eli Elezra and Jen Harman arrive and a game starts. Nothing out of the ordinary here except that Andy Beal(100% confirmed him) was in the game again. I'm pretty certain that it is his first time back since the last time taking on the corporation. Time for some 30k/60k to start running again?

I get the feeling if the normal corporation won't play him for high enough stakes, then a new "online corporation" just may. Purely speculation at this point obv

Most of it was 50k/100k. Then Ivey came in, and they rebated it back to 30/60.

Re: Andy Beal back in town?

lot of lies told by some members of the corporation regarding how much they won from beal , i remeber david ghey saying on telly he took $13m of him , but i dont think he even featured in any games v beal , also think tood b was mouthing on same show bout how much he won .

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 .

If they keep on playing him, ultimately Beal will take all the pros' money.

I think a lot of it has to do with people (retards) 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.
